You'd be better off taking a different tact.
What conclusion am I to draw then? You're misrepresenting previous statements and arguments. I've said that evolution is important and should be taught in schools. The bill referenced in the OP is at least allowing that to happen rather than shoehorning creation into the mix. I never said you can't learn other aspects of biology without evolution, but why would you when it provides a deeper understanding of these items and how they interconnect.

The point is that Evolution is, most definitely, the unifying theory of biology.
However, it is not required to have a deep understanding of it to teach the basic biology taught in HS.
At a deeper level, if one was say, a biology major, obviously a deep understanding would be needed.

I could relate it to "reading comprehension," but I suspect you just missed that part of the article.
