What do they teach them?

The Institute for Creation Research, a misnomer if there ever was one as they don't research anything, is close to gaining accreditation to train "science" teachers in the not-so-great state of Texas. The Institute wants to use an on-line curriculum and I say why not. An advisory group has already approved the request and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is due to rule before Xmas. The entire course must consist of "here - believe this".

I am sure that this will help the state's standing the education derby. Where does Captain Codpiece's beloved No Middle Class White Child Left Behind Act stand on this? Are the evolution questions optional on the standardised tests?
