Tennessee Making Power Play to Become Nation's Dumbest State

Tennessee is looking to pass a bill forcing schools to teach "scientific controversies":

And the bill doesn't limit this to just the "controversies" it lists explicitly. The intent of course is clear—compelling teachers to include creationist or climate-change denying materials alongside of actual scientific lessons.

From what I've come to understand, kids in America, in particular the "real" American states like Tennessee, are having enough trouble as it is learning "science," so maybe piling "pretend science" on top might be too much for them?
