Texas' Board of Education to hear testimony on teaching evolution

This article was a bit vague...what are they teaching now? Shouldn't strengths and weaknesses of any given theory or idea always be examined?

Presumably this all really hangs on evolution. Would only strengths be taught (scientists) or only weaknesses (creationists)? Either approach is faulty.

Curriculum review committees made up of science teachers and academics recommended last year that the state scrap its long-standing requirement that strengths and weaknesses of all scientific theories – notably evolution – be covered in science classes.
