The evolution of testing

Students who learn creationism rather than evolution in science courses in school districts in Kansas and Georgia will now have a revised SAT exam made especially for them., The Swift Report says that students "will no longer be tested on their ability to comprehend passages from scientific texts that are based on the controversial theory of evolution. Instead, they will read excerpts from writings on such creation-related topics as the six days in which God created the Earth or the Great Flood, then answer a series of questions to indicate how well they've understood the passages."
