TL;DR

India's National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has removed evolution, the periodic table, sources of energy, and material about air and water pollution from most secondary school science classes. The changes affect some 134 million 11-18-year-olds in India's schools. NCERT did not get input from parents or teachers, and the changes may be permanent. Science educators are particularly concerned about the removal of evolution, which is essential to understanding human diversity and "our place in the world."
