Okay, is that what this row was all about? A clause in science standards mandating criticism of origin-of-life theories? Any of the Kansans are yahoos (in Swift's sense, not subscribers to a certain on-line company) crowd have some missing quotations from the Kansas BOR standards to show otherwise?
Origin of life theories are so far from being settled science that any teaching of them without criticisms would be an erosion of science education.
Precisely.
Origin of life is not evolution.
