Need to Know #168
Broadcast Date: Aug. 26, 2011
Despite Governor Perry's statement that Texas schools teach evolution and creationism, Texas recently voted not to add creationism or intelligent design to its science texts. But the actions of the state's school board continue to be closely watched by the nation. Need to Know caught up with the Board last May as it was considering changes to be made in its social studies curriculum.
