DI, "Model Academic Freedom Statute on Evolution." http://www.academicfreedompetition.com/freedom.php The model statute proposed by DI would make it illegal to exclude ID by mandating "the full range of scientific views" on evolution must be allowed. Unlike some proposed legislation, it does not mandate the range to be taught. But neither does it demonstrate that there actually is a "range" of legitimately scientific views on fundaments of evolution like common descent or the antiquity of life. [Indeed, would this statute mandate that a 10,000 year age for the origin of life be allowed to be taught?] The model statute also protects students’ rights to be evaluated only on what they understand, not on what they personally believe. This is a different but important issue, and is not irrelevant to recent cases of viewpoint discrimination.
