The standards committee of the Ohio Board of Education has approved a new set of science standards that includes a compromise over how to teach evolution in the state's schools, one that will please creationists more than scientists. According to the revised standards, students should be able to "describe how scientists today continue to investigate and critically analyze aspects of evolutionary theory." The full state board will vote on the standards in December. "Panel approves science guidelines," by Scott Stephens, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland), October 15, 2002
