"Climate Groups Oppose Changes To W.Va. Science Standards"

"Groups that support teaching students about the evidence showing that humans are contributing to a global rise in temperatures are speaking out against West Virginia’s changes to the state’s new K-12 science education standards.

At the request of state school board member Wade Linger, who said he doesn’t believe human-influenced climate change is a “foregone conclusion,” the teaching requirements concerning climate change were altered before the board adopted them last month.

The teaching requirements are part of a raft of new standards based on the national Next Generation Science Standards blueprint."
