Yes, if people followed the law independent of the law, the law would not be needed. This holds in general.
The law is to protect students against anti-religious teachers who punish students for making religious statements.

idk, it seems more aligned with protecting the weird thing some USA¹ Christians do where they take the Bible as historical fact re: creation of the world...
quoting the article:
> students can't be penalized if their work is scientifically wrong as long as the reasoning is because of their religious beliefs.
is science class really the place to do that? are we cool with Ohio children being unfamiliar with evolutionary theory because of their religion?

1. i'm not sure if singling out the USA is correct here, but it's the only country where i've seen this. even here in Poland, where a lot of people are seriously religious (Christian), this sort of thing doesn't seem to happen
Yeah that’s definitely not right, the correct solution of course being “Burn the mathematician^W witch!”
I guess we need a law to protect students from having to read controversial books too?
Evolution is not contested in the slightest. Should we grade tests to allow students to believe that things fall up?
If you think that’s hyperbole then that’s the problem right there. The whole evolution debate is so tiring.
You don’t just enjoy your life when you do that, but actively work at destroying others.
