Hmm. Maybe I missed something? You "may have missed" where the sponsor of the bill himself gave the teaching of evolution as one example of the sort of "leftist totalitarianism" that would be grounds for a student to sue under the new bill...

And when the courts interpret the law, one of the things they look at is what the drafters of the law intended.
I was behind the 'Academic Bill of Rights' when Horowitz first proposed it. It took me a while to realise what a can of worms it opens.

Where was that? I didn't see the word 'evolution' anywhere in the bill, and also didn't see where it could be inferred. It states that objections must be "reasoned". There is no scientific reasoning for ID or creationism.
