AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas will no longer require educators to teach weaknesses of all scientific theories, including evolution.

The requirements were approved Friday by the State Board of Education in a 13-2 vote adopting new state science curriculum standards that will be in place for the next decade.

In a compromise plan, teachers will be required to have students scrutinze “all sides” of scientific theories, a move criticized by evolution proponents.

The vote caps a week of impassioned debate that had scientists, teachers and textbook publishers from around the country focused on Texas.
