Of all the silliness, this takes the cake. Evolution takes up waaaay too much curriculum time. The subject can be covered in like three class sessions, tops. But how much time is spent on it? A lot more than that! It is almost like it is some kind of brainwashing cult with some “educators”. Students get literally hour after hour after hour of evolution harangues. Meanwhile whole fields of science are given short shrift. The education students need to face our technological world goes undone. Electronics, important in life? You bet! Don’t look for anything more than basics to be covered. How about Computer Science? Not even part of the required curriculum. Imagine sending our children into the world without understanding computers! Yet, that’s what we are doing. But every student needs, needs, needs to know about Darwin? Why?! Will evolution be invalidated if every student isn’t exposed to it? Funny, the validity of Maxwell, Newton, Freud and Einstein survive without their work being inculcated into every public school child. But little Johnny and Suzy can be sent out into the world without understanding how a transistor works, basic principles of hydraulics, nor how to balance a spreadsheet. “Nice”. As a teacher I see it all day long. Dozens of special interests all pushing their agendas, and the students get the raw end of the deal.
