That’s a first ammendment violation. I defy him to articulate a non religious reason why not that is even remotely defensible.
I bet the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) has already sent this guy a letter explaining how he should take that back. And how much money he’s going to cost the taxpayers losing in court.

well, to be fair. i think that the consensus would be that evolution is a fact, but natural selection is a theory. ( just like global warming is the fact, and anthropomorphic climate change is the theory. )
which this guy gets wrong on both accounts.

Yes, you are right, but I think the consensus would be that “theory of evolution” is understood to mean “theory of evolution by natural selection.”

Like, he’s a citrus grower! He literally relies on evolution for his livelihood. If you believe that artificial selection works, you basically need to believe that natural selection exists.
People like this make my head explode.

That’s ok because if I was in charge I would not teach any math. You don’t need it anyway, calculators do it all.

and yet he has no idea how science even works:
Tuck said his problem is that scientists can’t say for certain how the universe began

Well if he gets something like, er cancer, as a person of faith he should rely on thoughts and prayers to get well. Hate to rely on the theory that chemotherapy can help…
