BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:

SECTION 1. Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, each local school board shall require that an instructional lesson on the evolution of humanity be included in its high school biology curriculum, which shall be taught at the beginning of the biology course. The curriculum must be based on the relevant evidentiary facts and scientific data on the subject of evolution. The lesson provided to students shall not evidence bias through selective instruction on the theory of evolution, but rather, shall have proportionately equal instruction from educational materials that present scientifically sound arguments by protagonists and antagonists of the theory of evolution.

2010-2011学校年度の開始時に、各学区教育委員会は、高校生物学のカリキュラムに人間の進化についての授業を加え、生物の課程の最初に教えることを義務付けなければならない。カリキュラムは、進化の単元について関連する証拠的事実と科学的データに基づかなければならない。授業は進化論に対する選択的な証拠のバイアスのな形で行うのではなく、進化論について支持および反対者からの科学的に正しい論を提示した教材により等量の教育を生徒たちに与えなければならない。

SECTION 2. Section 37-11-63, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:

37-11-63. No local school board, school superintendent or school principal shall prohibit a public school classroom teacher from discussing and answering questions from individual students on the origin of life, except that any discussion of the evolution of humanity shall be required to be given by a biology teacher, as required by Section 1 of this act.



SECTION 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2010.
