Teaching kids to fight science
Wow. Check out this story in the LA Times about a preacher who travels the nation teaching fundamentalist Christian children in-your-face retorts they can use to repeatedly challenge public school science teachers as they try to instruct them in evolution, the Big Bang Theory or even dinosaurs.
So science class will become a out-and-out battle ground. What do you think? Is this topic “fair game” for this kind of acerbic debate?
Update: Speaking of evolution, I noticed on Eric Berger’s excellent science blog that Charles Darwin’s birthday was Sunday and that he was born on the same day as Abraham Lincoln!
