from the Miami Herald:


"For the first time ever, evolution is to be taught clearly and explicitly in Florida classrooms now that the state Board of Education approved a batch of new science standards Tuesday that mention the ''E'' word.

The amendment would have given teachers explicit permission ``to engage students in a critical analysis of that evidence." "
