That is a poorly written article that conflates several issues:
* The usage of federal money to hire STEM
* The policitization of STEM subjects as soundpieces that don’t actually teach real STEM, but instead hide behind the veneer of ‘science’ to deliver political messages
* Further politicization to hire presumably unqualified people to push an agenda
None of that article says anything about STEM itself, as uncorrupted by Obama. (Does anyone really think any more calculus classes will be taught as a result of the 100M initiative?)
We do need more STEM. Political soundpieces aren’t “STEM” even if Obama calls them that.
