Science education in Idiot America

72% of America's biology teachers are cowards or idiots or both. This means 72% of American students learn virtually nothing about the foundation of biology.

Every single one of these incompetent biology teachers needs to be publicly humiliated and fired immediately. It's not fair to students to have science teachers who know nothing about science.

Some of these asshole science teachers teach both evolution and creationism. In other words they teach both science and magic. Many other idiot teachers teach only magic. Magic in a science classroom. It's impossible to be more incompetent. Throwing these subhumans out the window isn't good enough. They belong in prison for child abuse.

They get away with their incompetence because nobody complains. American idiots want their biology teachers to know nothing about biology. They don't want their children to learn anything about science in a science classroom because that would make Jeebus cry.

I can't repeat this often enough - Christians are the most retarded stupid assholes in history.

Creationism may not hold up in the courtroom, but a guaranteed controversial new study finds it's doing just fine in the classroom.

Research published by Penn State University indicates one in eight high school biology teachers are creationists. Thirteen percent of the 926 teachers surveyed by university researchers openly advocate creationism -- a literal interpretation of the creation story in the Book of Genesis -- in their science classes. About 60 percent said they don't teach much about the subject for fear of offending fundamentalist students or their families.

Also, according to LiveScience:

Only 28 percent of high school biology teachers followed the National Research Council and National Academy of Sciences recommendations on teaching evolution, which include citing evidence that evolution occurred and teaching evolution thematically, as a link between various biology topics.

Mind you, these are public school teachers we're talking about. Decades of court rulings, including recent ones, have found teaching creationism or intelligent design as science violates the Constitution.

"The implications for us are very concerning, that there are teachers who are not teaching science, who are not teaching some of the core tenants of science," Francis Eberle, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association, told LiveScience.

Wired magazine, in an analysis that evokes the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, looks at the various ways biology teachers discuss evolutionary theory without courting controversy -- by addressing it at a molecular level and avoiding discussion of how species evolve, or by teaching both evolution and creationism and letting students decide for themselves.
