Ars Technica is running a story about of late enacted measure in Louisiana which will allow school board superintendence to "approve backup classroom materials specifically for the critique of scientific theories" such as change and global warming. The full text of the Act (PDF) is also available.

Unfortunately, it's remarkably selective in its suggestion of topics that need critical thinking, as it cites scientific subjects 'including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.'"
