This bill, S.F. No. 2402, proposes a new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 120B, requiring school districts to provide instruction in critical thinking skills for students in grades 9 to 12. Specifically, the instruction must explore the contrast between scientific explanations of sickness, disease, pain, suffering, and death in relation to complex living organisms, and the perspective that these conditions are a consequence imposed by a Creator. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Education Policy Committee for further consideration.
