[Endangered Specie]

All biology (why not all?)textbooks sold to the public schools of the state of Missouri shall have one or more chapters containing a critical analysis of origins(they do already). The chapters shall convey the distinction between data and testable theories of science (that is evolution, one of the most tested and scrutinized, and one of the most solid)and philosophical claims that are made in the name of science(you mean like creation 'science'). Where topics are taught that may generate controversy, such as biological evolution(why don't we do the same for the holocaust, I mean alot of people claim it was false?), the curriculum should help students to understand the full range of scientific views that exist(when it comes to evolution and origins, there is only ONE view), why such topics may generate controversy(Id say that belongs in a psychology class under why people are stupid), and how scientific discoveries can profoundly affect society.
