India drops teaching Evolution and the Periodic Table in schools

11. That's extremely sad. India exports some very bright & well-educated people...

Years ago all I had to do was look around the faculty in the sciences at the local University.

As for keeping people at home in India, the tech company my husband works for has a branch in India where the number of employees far surpasses the number still employed by the company in the US. Now, we have personal opinions about that, given that my husband is one of those remaining Americans, but the fact is the company can hire multiple people in India for what they have to pay each person in the US, and they can count on these people to be well-educated and prepared to learn the craft.

Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch — right wing governments are incredibly short-sighted. But maybe the actual goal is to have an ill-educated population they can manipulate. Gods know we have evidence enough of that in nearly 1/2 of the states in the USA.
