This bill allows teachers in South Dakota school districts to help students critically examine scientific information by analyzing its strengths and weaknesses in an objective way. The new law applies to any science course that follows the state's established content standards, giving teachers explicit permission to encourage students to think critically about scientific material rather than simply accepting it at face value.
