Nevada May Consider Evolution Constitutional Amendment
from staff reports
Amendment would require teachers to acknowledge the controversies.
A proposed constitutional amendment in Nevada would require teachers to tell students there are many unanswered questions about the theory of evolution.
Opponents claim it's a thinly veiled attempt to allow intelligent design into the schools, but the man behind the idea, Steve Brown, a masonry contractor from Las Vegas, said that's not what he's after.
"I'm not promoting intelligent design or creationism," he told Family News in Focus. "The amendment simply says 'students must be informed that although most scientists agree that Darwin's theory of evolution is well-supported, a small minority of scientists do not agree.' "
