{Edited to add, and it's important}: Per several posts at Popehat, WKRC's account gives a wild exaggeration of this bill's consequences. I did not find this out until I was away from my computer. I'm at home now, and I lack high-speed access. I'll correct things when I can.
I apologize for my rash reaction. I return you now to the original content:

Ohio House passes bill allowing student answers to be scientifically wrong due to religion
by WKRC Wednesday, November 13th 2019
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) - Ohio lawmakers are weighing in on how public schools can teach things like evolution.
The Ohio House on Wednesday passed the "Student Religious Liberties Act." Under the law, students can't be penalized if their work is scientifically wrong as long as the reasoning is because of their religious beliefs.
Instead, students are graded on substance and relevance.
Every Republican in the House supported the bill. It now moves to the Republican-controlled Senate.
