The proposed bill mandates that school districts in Minnesota provide instruction aimed at advancing critical thinking skills for students in grades 9 to 12. Specifically, the instruction will focus on contrasting scientific facts regarding sickness, disease, pain, suffering, and death with the perspective that these experiences are consequences imposed by a Creator of complex living organisms. This new requirement is codified under a new section, designated as [120B.028] in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 120B.

The bill also establishes an effective date for this new requirement, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows for school districts to prepare and implement the necessary curriculum changes to comply with the new educational standards.
