Texas State Board of Education debating how evolution should be taught

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Texas State Board of Education members met Tuesday in Austin to hear public testimony as they define curriculum standards. While the board is defining standards for all the main subject areas, much of the debate  focused on science — in particular how evolution is taught in eighth grade biology classes.
The bulk of the testimony Tuesday centered around changes to standards 4(A) and 6(A) of the Biology TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and skills) in section 112
