{Frankfort, Kentucky}...During a meeting of the Interim Committee on Education in Frankfort, some Kentucky lawmakers expressed concerns about how evolution is taught to high school biology students, saying questions on an end-of-course biology exam seem to require the teaching of evolution as a fact instead of a theory. ACT Educational Services vice president Ginger Hopkins said the test is designed to measure whether high school students are ready for college-level work. She said the questions are based on what college professors say students need to know. Committee chairman Senator Ken Winters said the concerns were prompted by complaints from teachers.
