This bill proposes the addition of a new section, designated as [120B.028], to the Minnesota Statutes, specifically focusing on the advancement of critical thinking skills in education. It mandates that school districts provide instruction for students in grades 9 to 12 that explores the relationship between scientific facts regarding sickness, disease, pain, suffering, and death, and the perspective that these phenomena are consequences imposed by a Creator of complex living organisms.

The bill emphasizes the importance of critical thinking in the context of history and science education, aiming to foster a deeper understanding among students. The new legal language specifies that this requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025.
