I didn't say that the teaching of evolution only is the reason we're falling behind other countries in science education. I'm saying that it has provided no benefit and that the claims that introducing creation will hurt it are unsubstantiated.
However, the correlation is clear. The quality of education has declined as evolution has had the monopoly, demonstrating that it offers no advantage. It has not helped science education in this country.
In typical liberal fashion the NEA demands God be removed from public schols with all their God-hang-ups and “separation of church and state” and “theocracy” gobbledeygook and predicatably they socialize kids instead of educate them...
then when this fact is pointed out, they try desperately to obfuscate and twist the focus off themselves by blaming creationism for their failed academics, ignoring that they stamped that out via the courts...
like typical liberals they don’t want to own their own failures, but spend all their energies blaming conservatives and Christians.
And as if that wasn’t enough they demand proof that science thrives in some other country with a creation curriculum...
I educated them that science thrived pre-NEA...you educated them that kids here do better academically when taught without multiple God-hang-ups in failed public schools...
there’s simply no reasoning with the unreasonable metmom.
They just like to hear themselves prattle on.
