You said children with perfect math scores from evangelical schools should not receive remedial science at universities.

Math scores have nothing to do wih Science. The lack of science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) in HS means that the kids have to either avoid science or make it up. You think they should be dumped into a class with no background?

Equating math scores with science is like equating spelling and grammar with writing. Math is essential for science, but it's just a building block.

What makes you think chemistry and physics can't be taught without teaching Darwin's theory of evolution?

Last time I looked most biology classes do not discuss Darwin in depth .


One of the main reasons our students aren't that good in science is because most of our students are illiterate in math. Good math skills are essential to being good in science.


Schools which dump evangelicals into dummy classes will lose some sharp people ,and they should be cut off financially. Religious discrimination is illegal.
