On Monday, the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee sent a proposal to the State Board of Education that would compel high school biology instructors to “teach the controversy” when addressing the subject of evolution.
The phrase “teach the controversy” was coined by former Modern Language Association president Gerald Graff to describe how college instructors should teach complex literary works like Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The point of “teaching the controversies” was to demonstrate for students how knowledge is debated before it becomes accepted by the academic community.

"The eye as a contingent, diverse, complex product of evolutionary processes"
