And some of them get to be judges at the supreme court.

This is fucking insane. Ohio is the Alabama of the north.

So, Holocaust deniers are also allowed to give wrong answers on WWII history tests because of their beliefs? Racists are allowed to give wrong answers about slavery in America and race relations afterward because of theirs? This is a slippery slope that has no useful or valid result.

It's funny in a sad, ironic way how much the American religious fundies have in common with the Taliban and Islamic fundamentalists, and yet, they are totally clueless about the similarities........

I'm so glad I no longer live in Ohio.
First, Jim Jordan, now this shit.

Nothing like blind faith to dumb down the population.

In other words, chosen stupidity for religious reasons is to be encouraged? If anyone takes that seriously, it is no wonder that America is dumbing down.

Unbelievable. NOBODY better wonder why I joined this forum in search of intelligent conversation. I just don't understand why all these religious people WANT to be stupid. It's not even accidental, it's willful ignorance! And now they want to make it a LAW that you can be ignorant!!!!!

Me at 16 - as a Rastafarian I can smoke a joint while taking a test.

Kind of defeats the whole purpose of education, but, you can't fix rigid belief and orthodoxy.....

This issue is easily solved: just rephrase the all questions by starting each one with "According to Science..."

That way it's not about what they believe, it's about knowing the position Science holds, and that is certainly not based on their beliefs. They will still have to know and give the right answers.

If this becomes law, employers and College Admissions officers should question any High School diplomas from Ohio.

This is definitely a slippery slope.

These idiots are going too far.

Do not ever allow such students to try and fix your plumbing!

So can they say 6+7=14 because they think 13 is unlucky? Makes as much sense.

Sure why not? Just keep em dumb enough to not question the myth makers.

Check out the Sensuous Curmudgeon on Word Press. Stories like that abound across the US, especially in the religious South (big surprise), and in many cases, they get away with it. It's depressing.

Let's just hand out diplomas that say I may be stupid, I went to Ohio.

Notice how there's no rational reason for doing it, it's just because they believe something religious and that takes precedence over the truth or factual information.

OMG, I live in Ohio and I’m embarrassed.

The students should just write 42 as the answer to every question in every class. After all it's the answer to life the universe and everything!

So fair and equal treatment under the law - right to be stupid. Then where does the separation of education and religion sit?
If this is allowed, then as long as some arsehole with an AR15 shoots up an Ohio school claiming God told them to do it, then they must be innocent.
Sad to say, this makes us in the rest of the world laugh at America. I hope your SCJ can overturn this as another aspect will be that any qualifications obtained there, must be accepted throughout the rest of the USA.
When law makers interfere with established facts they appear not to think about the greater consequences. Now what about when one religion conflicts with another over a fact?

Ok so using the verse that a woman can't teach a man it means that it becomes impractical for a woman to be a teacher as any male student can claim that she can't lecture him

We are fast entering into an era when many of us will have wrong answers because of current nonsense. A recent poll showed that 47 % of people claim we have no proof of what to believe. This is what Trumps and the Kochs hoped for as they continue to dismantle everything. Before long we will be said to be that "Christian Nation" that so many have claimed from the beginning. Then the "Museum of the Bible" will have significance and 2 plus 2 will equal 5. America will be where they want it.
