Abstract
In the last paragraph of Constance Holden's article "Apples, frogs, and animal rights" (News & Comment, 4 Dec., p. 1345), the description of a bill being considered by the California state legislature was incorrect. An amended version of the bill is now being considered that would give all students in grades kindergarten through 12 in public schools the right to refuse to dissect or harm an animal as part of a course of instruction. Colleges and universities would not be affected.
