Bad teachers protected by union contracts and union lawyers... 20/20 tried to recruit teachers to take a national teacher's test, but few would participate. Of the teachers who did, 15% did not know that Bill Clinton had been governor of Arkansas. Two thought Brazil was in Asia and five thought Shakespeare had written the story for the movie, "Shakespeare in Love." ……”

The masses will have their opiate. American aristocracy will continue to send their children to private schools - and many of those will still teach evolution as the best verifiable explanation we have to date.
