Science is all about theories

MFPE k-12 Certified Members,

You are NOT going to believe this...

Monday, Februrary 6, the Senate Education Committee will hear SB 235 (Emrich) to establish requirements for science instruction in public schools. Here is all you need to know about SB 235:

eliminates any discussion of theories in science education (GRAVITY is a theory)
unconstitutional infringement on Board of Public Ed authority to set standards
unconstitutional infringement on local school board authority to adopt curriculum
the staff time, the hearing, and the paper it's printed on are a waste of taxpayer dollars when the legislature should be creating JOBS

Please contact the members of the Senate Education Committee before Tuesday, February 7th to ask them to TABLE SB 235 and/or plan to testify. See instructions for messaging and committee participation below. Please be respectful (more respectful than I have been here).

THANK YOU for standing up for Montana's kids and families! You are amazing!

In solidarity,

Amanda
