This is less the fault of scientists and more the fault of science writers in the media. This should not be a part of the debate when it comes to public policy like this.

What he's saying:

> The legislation’s sponsor says by banning scientific theories, the policy aims to prevent kids from being taught things that aren’t true.

Is a talking point from the Creationist playbook. I wouldn't be surprised if evolution and biology was the only impacted curriculum. It of course is based on the (intentional) misunderstanding of what is meant in casual English as a "Theory" (i.e. an unproven hypothesis) versus what is referred to in scientific lingo as a "Theory" (i.e. the accepted model of how things work, because it makes excellent predictions).

These people need to have this explained to them in a public forum, and forced to explain why they insist on pushing an incorrect view of the issue.
