Teach the Controversy: Flat Earth Theory
If all is game for creationism and evolution in public schools, then surely the teaching of Flat Earth Theory must be a hot button as well.

I recently read this article (about a week ago) at The American Scholar that runs alongside my recent post regarding the beauty in evolution. I noticed author Brian Boyd sees things through Rose-colored glasses (or, perhaps, I see things through Brian-colored glasses).
Does evolution by natural selection rob life of purpose, as so many have feared? The answer is no. On the contrary, Charles Darwin has made it possible to understand how purpose, like life, builds from small beginnings, from the ground up. In a very real sense, evolution creates purpose.
Florida is my good ol’ home state, but I’m from the south. Not as in “The South” because that’s the Northern half. Confused yet? Miami is like another country than, say for example, Jacksonville. Orlando is the point where things begin to turn, right after Disney World.
Apparently, a bill has been quietly filed by State Sen. Steve Wise [R-Jacksonville] can potentially change the way school teachers in Florida introduce Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
