Only 28% of biology teachers in this country properly teach biology. They make the foundation of biology (evolution) part of every lesson and they explain the evidence for evolution. The other 72% should be fired immediately.
When I took high school biology in 1964/1965 I was cheated. Instead of making evolution part of every lesson my teacher never mentioned the word evolution. What I got out of that class was science is boring. If I had a real biology teacher I probably would have learned how to love science.
Now it's almost a half century later and still most American students are being cheated. Their teachers teach little or nothing about evolution and they learn how to hate science. There's no excuse for it.
What's being done to fix our disgraceful science education? Nothing. Instead of throwing bad teachers out the window some states are making their incompetence legal. Politicians are passing laws to let science deniers lie to their students about science.
Most Americans are evolution deniers. Their many problems include a total ignorance of what they are denying. And to make sure future generations are equally ignorant of science there is a massive war against the teaching of evolution.
Why are so many Americans so interested in dumbing down biology? Their problem is they think evolution threatens the existence of Christianity. They're right, evolution does threaten their death cult, and that's a good thing.
