#4 Leftist idiot, I'm not sure if your handle or comment is meant to be ironic. Anyway, the teaching of science is fraught, because the essence of science is scepticism and continual re-examination of the evidence in order to falsify what is 'known', whereas education is about conveying some certainty about things. This is difficult enough with intelligent adults and impossible with children. Ergo, you cannot teach science to children, you can only teach children about what science thinks it knows. You may not like the theory of evolution taught as just theory (which of course it is), but I find this preferrable to such PC idiocy as climate change taught as incontrovertable fact. |

#2 Yeah, well, some bible-thumpers over here don't like teaching evolution or sex-ed, so they are just as bad, maybe worse. |

#1 From Thailand to Afghanistan to Beslan to schoolgirls left to burn in Arabia, the leftards support barbarians who have decided to bypass burning books and go straight to burning teachers instead. And they call them Minute Men. |
