Santorum Amendment, (what happened originally):

On June 13, 2001, the United States Senate strongly supported an amendment which states,
"(1) good science education should prepare students to distinguish the data or testable theories of science from philosophical or religious claims that are made in the name of science;
(2) where biological evolution is taught, the curriculum should help students to understand why this subject generates so much continuing controversy, and should prepare the students to be informed participants in public discussions regarding the subject."
This amendment 799 to S.1 was introduced by Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pennsylvania) to be part of the Better Education For Students and Teachers Act, and was strongly supported by a 91-8 vote of the Senate.

Some noteworthy comments on the ammendment were made by various senators including those from Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Massachussetts), who supported the ammendment because it encouraged critical thinking:
"the language itself, is completely consistent with what represents the central values of this body. We want children to be able to speak and examine various scientific theories on the basis of all of the information that is available to them so they can talk about different concepts and do it intelligently with the best information that is before them."

inquiring minds that want to know to go across the hall to the humanities departments.
