Indeed it is good news. I live in Cobb County and have a child who will be entering the schools in a few years. It's nice to know that they will be teaching science, undiluted.
Science rests on an 'a priori' assumption of naturalism and is deliberately limited as a worldview. As such, it is an inferior position for judging reality as it considers only one possibility (that of naturalism).
It is unfortunate to see parents so uninformed about what science is and what it isn't that they automatically assume the 'scientific' perspective is superior when it is in fact, the inferior position.
This lack of critical-thinking skills is one of the unavoidable consequences of limiting acceptable worldviews to 'naturalist only'.
