SB1025: Science curricula; evolution; intelligent design

Category: Secular Public Education

Bill Summary

Requires Arizona public schools to include intelligent design in their science curricula if they teach evolution by natural selection. This mandate ensures that whenever evolution is presented, schools must provide “concurrent instruction” on the alternative theory of intelligent design, regardless of any existing educational laws.
