Anti-evolution and the death of biology in Turkey

[longship]

19. Really? Not so much as you think.

In high schools? Not so much as you think.

Check out the NCSE Web site for details at the number of states putting forth legislation to impede biology education statewide.

In Louisiana, the law is such that teachers can add "supplemental materials" counter to curriculum in the name of "balance". Of course, Jindal is also raping public education with an accelerated move to charter schools, some of which coincidently happen to be teaching a biology curriculum from Bob Jones University which teach that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time less than 10,000 years ago.

Do I have to remind you of the number of states with Republican governors and legislatures?

Like the women's issues, the religious right is not going to stop this nonsense. We are going to have to vote them out of office.

One positive note, the KS Board of Education has adopted science friendly standards, for now, that is. That seesaw has gone back and forth before though and the KS state legislature and governor are still loony as they get.

I do not share your optimism on this issue as long as the situation is like it is.

Again, check out NCSE for the details.

Thanks for your response.
