I would say that it's the fact that it's about "teaching the controversy" and it's aimed at middle/high school. It's bound to confuse.
"Ok kids, we're discussing evolution. I am obligated to tell you that it is controversial. Not within the scientific community, mind you, but with a number of religious people. But, as per the law, I have to inform you that you will see controversy over evolution"

Where does it say that they "have to inform you that you will see controversy over evolution"?
You're right. I misread a portion of it.

Good point. Here is an (alleged) quote from Watson: (bolding mine)
quote:
Senate sponsor Bo Watson acknowledged creationism and intelligent design are not part of the state's curriculum, but he said questions about them create a "teachable moment."
"If a student asks a question about it, the teacher should feel comfortable in using that ... to say here's the difference between science and creationism, the difference between evolution and creationism," Watson said. "And here's why evolution is science's best explanation and creationism is not."
  —Bo Watson

Maybe it's not so terrible afterall?

Re: staying on topic
I disagree but ok. why should it concern me that people in NYC are denied their 2nd amendment rights?
So the constitution is merely a suggestion and states right supercede what is written in it? Why even have the constitution then?
