Universities from teaching general courses “with a curriculum based on unproven, theoretical or exploratory content.” So, teaching physics courses about dark matter and dark energy are prohibited. As would courses about evolution and relativity have been banned before the theories had been proven. So, how the hell are students supposed to learn how to do research and test theories if they don’t hear any unproven theories?? Not in Florida, obviously!

@moonbus saidThey have already heard of those unproven theories and I support not teaching about magic matter and magic energy unless it explains proven observations in a convenient way.

A good compromise would be to require the word "theory" after dark matter when written and spoken. I don't have a problem with MoND being followed by the word theory. Do they teach MoND theory at universities?
It isn't that I have a problem with the term dark matter as long as it is ordinary matter that cannot be seen. I just have a problem with a different kind of matter other than antimatter. Dark matter does not explain galaxy rotation observations. Why should it be taught at all?
@metal-brain saidThere are millions of people in America who believe that evolution didn’t really happen. They believe it’s just a theory which hasn’t been proven yet. The Florida law would prohibit teaching it. There are millions of people in America who don’t believe there was a Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. They believe it’s just a theory which hasn’t been proven yet. The Florida law would prohibit teaching it. How is anyone supposed to prove a theory or disprove it, if it is not allowed to teach it before it has been proven? That’s what universities are for, isn’t it? Well, isn’t it? De Santis evidently thinks universities are point-scores in his big bid for the Oval Office. This is real bad for higher education. It puts Florida back to the dark ages, pre-Galileo, when “the Earth moves” was an unproven theory.

I think you need to determine if something is a theory or an hypothesis. I think you really meant to say hypothesis.
@metal-brain saidMOND doesn’t negate the need for dark matter.

And yes, obviously this theory is also taught at universities.
@metal-brain saidUniversities should not be prohibited from teaching ANY theory or hypothesis. The most fundamental freedom of all, more fundamental than all of the freedoms enshrined in the US Constitution and BoR, is the freedom to think. To think things which haven’t been proven. Prohibiting universities from teaching theories which are politically contentious is straight out of the Dark Ages when the Church prohibited Galileo from claiming that the Earth moves.

You asked whether MOND is taught. This answer your question?

@shavixmir saidEr, so why haven’t stupid people died out? 😳
Evolution isn’t a theory.
Chickens 2000 years ago were different to the chickens we have today.
The average Dutch person is 30cm taller than the average Dutch person 100 years ago.
So everything evolves.
And that which doesn’t adapt dies out.
@wajoma saidSo just like health care, only those who can pay for it have access. Killing education will destroy the U.S. global economy. Countries that understand and value education and research will advance. The US will quickly decline. No terrorists needed. Just people like you.

@phranny saidAgreed. America’s great experiment in freedom will not be conquered from without. It is being legislated away from within.

@shavixmir saidWell, at least we know where they congregate, and trailers don’t fare well in tornadoes. Yeah! Climate change! Let’s have more tornadoes! 😆
It’s a slow process.
And trailer parks keep churning out retarded republicans.
