There is NO Federal Mandate to teach Evolution.

There is no Federal mandate to teach algebra, or chemistry or Latin, either.

It is merely a question of being well-read and in-step with the 21st century.

We do not teach phrenology in psychology; We do not teach phlogiston in Chemistry; and we should not teach intelligent design as an "alternative" to evolution. "Evolution" is a demonstration of a collection of known scientifically verifiable facts. Evolution does NOT discredit belief in God; in fact, evolution makes NO comments about the sanctity of life or the existence of powers beyond our own. Attempting to condemn evolution as a theory as an attack on religion or belief is as meaningful as eating meat on Friday, instead of Fish.

What is a federal mandate?

A Federal mandate is a requirement set by the Federal government. It usually is in the form of a new Federal Law. In some cases the Federal government doesn't have the authority to do something, so they will find a way to change something else. Drinking age is defined by the states, but the Federal Governmet passed a law that they would severely cut highway funds to any state that didn't raise their drinking age to 21. A requirement in federal legislation that forces states and municipalities to comply with certain rules. Better explanation: A federal mandate is an order from the central government that all state and local government must comply with. Usually, a federal mandate requires state and local governments to improve environmental or civil rights issues. Hundreds of federal mandates have been passed requiring state and local governments to take action in areas ranging from the way voters are registered, to ocean-dumping restrictions, to the education of disabled people. Some examples of federal mandates include the Head Start program for low-income children, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). A mandate is a way for the government to force state or local governments to comply with demands. If the federal government wants something to be accomplished in fields such as education they can issue a mandate saying that if the state doesn't do whatever it is that they want they will withhold funding for something that the state requires such as highway repairs. Usually they provide the state with financial support for those mandates, but in some cases such as with No Child Left Behind they issued an unfunded mandate. In that case it is up to the states involved to come up with the money to do what the federal gov. wants or else.
