Except that it is mentioned as fact, not theory, in every cartoon and Tv show out there. You trust the publick screwels to present the process of scientific analysis correctly? Why, teaching kids to reason would undermine their socialist agenda. How can Publick screwels be right in evolution but wrong in all their other agendas? (2+2 = 5, ok if that's the answer that makes you feel good...)
Well what can I say...scientific literature is very careful in using the word fact. Like I said facts are limited to a defined scale. A fact must come from direct observation or experimentation. How can hold science responsible for pop cultures interpretation of the theory? Will a sticker change any of that? NO.
Well this is certainly odd. The battle cry of the creationists is "present all sides, even if our side has nothing to do with science" and "let the children decide." This is, of course, a thinly disguised variation of the very "children's self-esteem" agenda you are decrying above.
"Feel good" curricula is no more appropriate in science classes than it is in math or history.
I taught Biology (in the publick screwels .. thanks for the rushbo) for 7 years. I am a conservative. Yes, I did present the process of scientific analysis. I also taught evolution as a theory. I also taught create-ism as a theory.
What I really abhor about this subject is the way it polarizes people. An open mind never hurt anyone.
