NO, they don't! Check out Singapore Science and their Science curriculum. That's what we are using for SCIENCE. It does NOT dwell on AGE and DARWIN as the U.S. DOES.
“However, among those countries we are the only one with a large, effective religious movement in opposition to evolution. Maybe that's it. “
No, Science is NOT about “religion”. NO religion is discussed in the other curriculmns or Singapore Science that WE USE. Is it not a “religious” argument. It's all ABOUT DARWIN in the U.S.. Science is Science.
"The public schools lack focus; instead of concentrating on education, they dabble in social re-engineering"
Wanting to follow a religious agenda instead of teaching science. The goal of the ID movement is admittedly a larger social change.
Among teachers of high school biology and life sciences classes, approximately 31 percent of them do not have at least a minor in biology.
And thus more susceptible to the pseudoscience crap they heard in church instead of knowing the real science of biology.
No, Science is NOT about “religion”
You are correct. Now if only we could get the IDers to quit trying to put religion into the science curriculum.
