Exellent point. Why don't we let Scientists decide what is taught in Science class?
Communities decide, not scientists. Education is the domain of parents and local communities, not scientists. You want to exchange one form of tyranny for another. I remember "scientists" teaching german children that jews were subhuman using the shape of their skulls. Scientists are just as prone to idiocy as any other profession.
Which sort of scientists? The balanced ones like Copernicus and Galileo, who are in the minority, or the unbalanced ones or will always be in the majority - like Darwin:
"Origin of man now proved. -- Metaphysics must flourish. - He who understands baboon would do more toward Metaphysics than Locke." --- Darwin, Notebook M, August 16, 1838

Hmmm, does that mean we should let socialists decide what is taught in sociology cla.... ....er, never mind.
