Thread: Might as well start teaching kids about the Stork theory...

Why is presenting more options a bad thing? If the letter of the law is followed, this should produce smarter, critical thinking open minded individuals who are able to reason for themselves instead of just accepting the popular doctrine of the time.

Because it's not scientific. It's taking time out of a science class, away from teaching real science, to go on about subjects that didn't cut the mustard in the scientific arena.

The point of learning science is to understand the methodologies that lie at the heart of science, learn the skills needed, and to impart knowledge about the field one is studying. Notice that all of those topics mentioned in the bill are all under attack from religion or other anti-scientific proponents, not science itself.

It's a deliberate attempt by the religious right to undermine science by cheating the system and forcing their ideas into science classrooms. And it's working.
