Science Courses Will No Longer Be Taught in FL and TX

by Eve O. Luchin

In a joint announcement, Governor Abbott of Texas and Governor DeSantis of Florida disclosed their latest Executive Orders, which were developed jointly in those states. Although the wording differs, both EOs basically end the teaching of all science classes in public elementary and secondary schools in those states.

Texas' Governor Abbott stated, during the Zoom announcement, "What is commonly referred to as 'Science' in textbooks materially deviates from the Word of God, as recorded in The Holy Bible. Rather than truth, science appears to be just theories, rather than facts. So, the schoolchildren of Texas will no longer attend "science" classes."

Governor DeSantis, echoed this in his remarks, saying, "There is no need for Florida's children to study things that are only supported through so-called 'experimental evidence.' From this day forward, Florida schools will teach only those things that have been believed to be true for thousands of years."

This reporter called Governor's offices in California and New York for comments, but those states' governors did not take our calls. However, a spokesperson in the California Governor's office responded in a cell phone text that said only: 'WTAF?' We are seeking clarification and will report our findings in an update to this article.
