requiring the teaching of fairytales in schools

Very disappointing, but not terribly surprising...

Bills have been introduced in Arizona, Colorado, and Oklahoma  that would make teaching about climate change in public schools less a science and more a political debate. The bills are based on model legislation from the  American Legislative Exchange Council (a right-wing front group) and would require schools to teach that climate change is “controversial” and not widely accepted scientific fact.
