"State and local legislatures in the United States are experimenting with new ways to target the topics taught in science classes, and it seems to be paying dividends. Florida’s legislature approved a bill on May 5 that would enable residents to challenge what educators teach students. And two other states have already approved non-binding legislation this year urging teachers to embrace ‘academic freedom’ and present the full spectrum of views on evolution and climate change. This would give educators license to treat evolution and intelligent design as equally valid theories, or to present climate change as scientifically contentious.
“The strategies of creationists have gotten more sophisticated,” says Glenn Branch, deputy director of the National Center for Science Education(NCSE) in Oakland, California. The first academic freedom bills popped up in the early 2000s, but until this year only three had become law: one in Mississippi in 2006, one in Louisiana in 2008 and another in Tennessee in 2012.
Eleven bills designed to alter science-education standards have been proposed this year across the United States. A handful of those measures have either abandoned the traditional academic freedom model for more roundabout methods, or are using watered-down versions of it.”*

Someone needs to tell these people that science isn't about perspective. It's about facts.
Science isn't just about facts its more like deductive methodology in order to understand the Universe.
My comment was an attempt to simplify the issues presented in the video. It's true that science is the pursuit of understanding our universe. But in order to understand something from a scientific perspective one needs to approach it without bias (I.E the scientific method). In other words, one focuses on the facts and what those facts tell us about a given subject.
So, yes, science is a little more complicated than a simple collection of facts, but facts are where you begin with any scientific study. And, ideally, they lead to new, not previously considered, facts.
As unlikely as it may seem, I actually agree with the idea of keeping the option for something like a world religions and mythologies class open. the problem is, like you said, the execution of how the subject is presented to the students. The key is to keep the subjects separate. Don't treat religion like it's a substitute for science. Science is about facts and knowledge and how they relate to our universe. Religion is about beliefs and customs and how they have impacted, or were impacted by, various cultures. In the end, I wouldn't want religion in my science classes any more than I want science in my religions and mythologies classes.
The issue that the video presents is this: instead of presenting the idea of academic freedom as a way of broadening a student's perspective, the people who create laws like the ones in the video use it as an excuse to force their perspective onto students.
There is a lot in science that is up for discussion and debate. The "facts" in science is the hard data. But beyond that there is a lot of discussion. On climate change, for example, we have data that shows the climate is changing, it has been for over 4 billion years. And we know man plays a role as we do just by simply existing. But, the problem is that we have alarmists that poison the topic. That's no longer facts but a radical viewpoint on the discussion.
TheOldBeef
What are some of these facts that are unique to religion? I would argue that religion is more about personal truth than universal facts.
Meanwhile, every night in China, Japan, Korea and India mothers ask their kids "Did you finish your calculus, physics and biology homework? You don't know how lucky you are. Remember, every night millions of American kids go to bed with no science at all !"
LMAO!!
If you’re gonna teach religious nonsense in school then science should be taught in church
The USA is proving once more that they are basically Christian Saudi Arabia.
The country is slowly going down the drain.
"Science is leftist!" - conservatives.
Facts and reasons are for libtards only. /s
"Then people wonder why 17 other countries graduate more scientist than we do."
~ George Carlin on American "Education"
IMDRanged it's probably because school is cheaper abroad.
Trevor Scott And because the american education system is just bad!
if you want your kids to learn about your religion; send them to private school, church, or teach them yourself. unless its specifically a religion class, it should not be taught in a public school. separation of church and state.
did you not read my comment?
D X I wonder if these schools will teach Shinto and Buddhist beliefs? I wonder if they will teach Izanagi no Mikoto as an alternate perspective
I would be down with learning about that if there was a Religious Philosophy class. Shintoism to me is.. Well, don't know jack shit.
I swear, I learn more researching on my own these days in America than college itself..
Not including these principles in public schools only diminishes the scope by which a student can. Separation of Church and State only applies to politics and serves no constructive purpose when wrongly applying it to education.
why in the world would you think it doesnt apply to public schools? they are making a law that forces public funded schools to respect their personal religious beliefs. the constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
Florida is replacing Texas as the most embarrassing state
Why aren't we teaching unicorns and dragons in biology.
Jace Solomon ...You have to go to Hogwarts for that. The fun part is you might get a Centaur as your professor.
I teach in Florida and I refuse to acknowledge this legislation, education is about truth, not beliefs
Exactly
By pornography, I'm sure they mean anatomical drawings. America is an embarrassment
Blue Mosquitoes Agreed.
Blue Mosquitoes That's not what pornography is...
to all creationists in fuking 2017: Like why even?
MrMook9000 Because they're idiots
Anyone who thinks the earth is young or flat is a sub species of human
I feel so sad for Americans they used to be pioneers for progression now they are just going back to Dark Ages.
Well, it may be their fault.
G Washington I can't give you any answer and I won't argue with you. if you genuinely believe with all your heart that it's either that or communism then my dear man you are brainwashed much like others who don't want to look for solutions but find problems in every solution. your country is on a path to self destruction if you can't see that then I can't make you. no one can make you. I loved Americans for the courage and liberation and self belief and just the balls for standing up to what is right in general day today life. but all I see now is racism and hatred for your own people and disregard for human life. I thought you guys were better honestly I did but all I see now is people relentlessly supporting a man who talked about assaulting women, who believes in bullying with no shred of dignity or class. who makes fun of differently abled citizens. who bans his own media and hosts a country known for being the enemy (is that patriotism?) and a country, majority of which supports him. farewell dear friend I hope your humanity survives.
Very, very well said, Snigda M.
Call it what it is, Sharia Law.
You want your kids to learn religion, send them to private school.
This is something I just cannot wrap my head around ! Kids aren't being educated properly but then when companies cannot find capable people in house everyone cries how foreigners are taking away their jobs. Wtf
Exactly!!!!
"Free of pornography" = "Lets get rid of sex ed while we're at it"
The ironic part is that there are so many X-rated stories in the bible which they have no problem teaching to little kids.
Holy shit,i'm grateful to not be an American!
You got 2 feel sorry for them.
Well, there is always Canada?
"War is peace", "Freedom is slavery", and "Ignorance is strength" - 1984 (George Orwell)
A right-wing regime depends on certain segments of the population being ignorant.
If they want to teach anti-science classes then we should be able to teach anti-religion classes in their churches. I think that's fair.
Normally, i'd agree but church attendance isn't mandatory whereas schools certainly are.
If they want to have a separate religious history class or something, i'd be fine with that, just keep out of the science program.
Who cares if church attendance is mandatory or not right now? Lots of religious people don't go to church yet they still think that their religion should be taught in public schools. Also, I remember an Arizona politician that did support making church attendance mandatory. If Pence ends up becoming president don't be surprised if the right seriously floats the idea of making mandatory church attendance a reality.
I live in Mississippi and went to college at a small community college here. It's located in a very small industrial town. I dropped out halfway through my 3 year for a number of reasons. One of them was because I didn't finish my 2nd science credit. This is because my second year science class had me drawing plant cells and coloring them in with colored pencils. This in is a college class. The thing that made me drop the class though was the fact that the teacher would preach during classes. He would denounce science outright and flat out say Jesus was the only way. I hate the education system here in Mississippi. It makes me want to kill myself.
Oh America, what the fuck are you doing to yourself?
David Erif destroying itself
So this is why I think my province shouldn't be largely dependent on global economy.
David Erif Florida is one of the dumbest states next to Texas and Mississippi
I don't get this. I have been to a catholic school in Belgium, we always had science courses, creationism has never ever been an issue. This only happens in america...
If parents want their kids to learn a bunch of lies they should either put them in a private Christian school or teach them the lies themselves. What possible reason could there be for imposing your beliefs on non-Christian students?
"The great thing about science is that its true whether you believe it or not"
in a hundred years the movie idiocracy will seem like an intellectual documentary
Dont worry, china is super competitive in science, id say almost 50% publisher papers have chinese authors, so, you are going to lose your technological advantage to china in the 4 years of trump
I almost WANT the planet to warm up. Sure, crops will fail, diseases will spread, millions of people will die and thousands of other species will go extinct. But Florida sinking into the ocean, almost makes it all worth it.
"crops will fail, diseases will spread, millions of people will die and thousands of other species will go extinct" this is already happening.
They should have atheist classes.
To everyone using the "evolution is just a theory"-argument to justify so-called academic freedom,
"Theory" is not the opposite of "fact."
"Fiction" is the opposite of "fact."
"Theory" is the opposite of "practice."
I hope this clears things up.
It's called Science class why don't they leave science class alone and start a new class called mythology class or flat earth class.
They have that already, it's called: church.
America is falling behind other countries. I'm generally worried about the future of our nation.
FACT: Most of those who insist on a literal interpretation of Genesis would never insist on a literal interpretation of Christ's teachings on wealth.
And then graduate from Trump University.
😂👍
Trump university is a prestigious institute of higher learning. I will not tolerate this comment. LMAO
The think that bugs me about this topic is that if they were SO against science, they really should not be allowed to use anything that you can attribute to Science. Take away their Internet, and their smartphones, their cars and their electricity. Let them walk around in the dark if they want to be like this.
tykszeto thank you!
tykszeto
Right, quantum physics must be evil. But it is the basis of information technology.
I love how "freedom" just means "ignorance" now.
Completely asinine comment. There are kindergartens and schools of all faiths all over the world teaching kids bizarre BS, why single out Islam? They are all horrible. And just because "the left" doesn't believe in bombing others into submission to their way of life doesn't meant they do not care. Sounds like you need a little less "freedom" buddy.
I know, i'm an atheist, i do not agree with any religion. But the left seems to be blind specifically to Islam which is why i point it out. When you criticise Islam the left calls it Islamophobia, when you criticise Christianity it's rational. But both contradict science, which is why i said "JUST AS retarded".
OMG America. Why are you trying to drag us back to the dark ages?
In the words of the repubs, "because freedom, and Murica, and the constitution". They don't know what those words mean, but they're always used to justify bad ideas.
Yes.
@G Washington, what do you mean? Like those are the only two options for humanity. Also at least the Soviet Union had science, unlike the dark ages.
We were never in the "Soviet Union." But Putinsky's certainly doing that, by acting similar to Drumpf. Stifling free speech/ dissent, peddling willful ignorance, populism etc.
the number of creationists even in this comment section is alarming.
Freedom of religion practice should be done as long as it doesn't violate any laws. Once laws are violated they should be treated as terrorism...
I like you
Parents who disagree with
what is being taught in public schools, can home school their kids. Let my children learn about evolution instead of creationism.
That's not the point. Public education of students in creationism is pushing religious ideology onto them. That's unconstitutional.
I went to an Presbyterian private high school. We were taught evolution as the foundation for biology. We were taught the earth is billions of years old in the geology module of our geography classes. We were taught world history that began long, long before the bible and included pre-historical knowledge and ancient civilizations in Asia and the Fertile Crescent. This hatred of science and of proper history is purely an extremist, fundamentalist, dominionist issue among a certain segment of American Evangelicals, particularly Southern Baptists, Pentecostals and Mormons with a legalistic, literalist view of the bible. Mainstream Christian schools respect accurate knowledge and some have actually signed the Clergy Letter Project.
That's great to hear. The Catholic Church officially embraces Evolution too - and that represents half the Christians in the world. So these bible belt fundamentalist nut jobs are a minority within their own religion.
I have been to Catholic school all my life. All my teachers made sure we understood the difference between science and religion. We were taught about evolution and climate change. The Bible is not a History or scientific book it is a religious book. It is limited in knowledge because the writers knew nothing about science or how old the earth was. There are some fundamentalists that disagree
Moon Watcher, if you go to the Clergy Letter Project, you will see a number of Christian denominations who have signed the mandate saying that evolution is VALID science and poses no threat to the spiritual and theological aspects of religion. www.theclergyletterproject.org/
It was a devout Catholic that put forth the Big Bang Theory. The Pope accepts evolution, an old earth, human history dating back before the bible. Most Anglican, Presbyterian and other denominations do as well.
The sects that do not are usually dispensationalist, Armageddeon, dominionist, biblical literalist sects such as Southern Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Quiverfull, Pentecostals and other such evangelicals.
If you have to lie to get people to agree with your perspective, then your perspective isn't worth having if facts can't back it up.
As someone who is currently working on a degree in education in order to teach math in Florida, this makes me think I should switch to science in order to make sure that these ideas are presented appropriately, as historic myths that predate and are disproven by the current scientific understanding.
And so, America has been made great again... sorry, I meant made greatly stupid again.
Idiocracy is turning into a documentary about America...
The creator is going to be considered the Nostradamus of today. Scary stuff.
Based on what measurement? The only categories that America is a leading nation in are incarcerated citizens per capita, number of Christians, amount spent on military, and resources consumed per person.
Maybe 20-30 years ago sure, but you guys have fallen behind. Just look at Europes bullet trains, or Saudi Arabia's building projects. Try going to Tokyo or Hong Kong, it's like visiting the future. You guys keep saying "America is the greatest, most advanced country", but all you've accomplished in the last 20 years is to bicker among yourselves over whether America is conservative or progressive.
Your education system is ranked among the worst in developed nations. Your infrastructure is crumbling and not keeping pace with your growing population. Your government is so bipartisan it can't accomplish anything. Your media thinks that keeping the nation informed means telling people what they want to hear. Your medical system leaves tens of millions of Americans without health care. Your prison system is built around making money rather than rehabilitation. Your people think that opinion and fact are the same thing, and your president thinks that leading a nation means pitting half the population against the other like a nationwide barfight.
Quite possibly the worst part is that Americans are all so blindly patriotic that you won't even consider the possibility that America isn't that great anymore. I mean how advanced is a country that applauds ignorance and derides intelligence and logic?
+ChristianMission Spending extraordinary percentage of tax on military, and interventionist oil wars, is not "leading in every standard", that is _exactly_ why the US sucks. You're still a country full of debt, corruption, crony capitalism, and all your systems are broken and made to benefit the 1%. Just because you have size, doesn't make your country a "leader" in _anything..._
Teaching science and facts is non-negotiable.
Don't teach kids science. Then complain about them not having jobs.
Then blame immigrants for taking their jobs
Then blame the European Union for no reason.
academic freedom in maths: 13 - 50 = 47
akadmik freadum in inglish
This is why the rest of the world laughs at you, America
The dumbing of America, the rich want to keep us ignorant.
It should be considered a crime to expose any children under sixteen to religion in public schools. Faith must be exposed. LOGIC! REASON and ENLIGHTENMENT.
So many triggered religious people. Creationism isn't science it's a religious concept used to rationalize the irrational. Which of the hundred or so creation myths should we be teaching?
After browsing through the comments...I noticed that the the American educational system, has been teaching the "full spectrum of views" on spelling.
Isn't this why we have Religious Studies, so we don't have to learn crap like this in science...
Yep. Keep it up 'Murica.
China will be the most advanced nation at this rate...
Ng Yee Tat Exactly. They teach their kids calculus. The US teaches their children dogma. Follow your Republican leaders without question.
Yes , but let's just hope the communist party gets through it's chronic identity crisis and calms down. And also stops with this "boogieman nation" bullshit in which every year a new country get's it's turn to be roundly hated by chinese. I would feel far more comfortable if china just stopped being so repressive and authoritarian at least.
this is a sad sad day for education.
I live in a Muslim country, we learn evolution in science and creationism in religious studies...
so you dont read the koran in science class? progress i guess
manMakefire I don't think that was a thing ever.. Plus religious studies stop early on. When you're about 15 I guess then you decide weather you want science or littérature ( I think religion studies are in there I don't know.. )
have seen plenty of documentaries about how they in muslim countries are reading the quran in science class. which obviously is dumb. and its not like all muslims just have a choice, people are being killed by their own families because they dont believe anymore
It depends on which country some take everything so literally...
Theyre just nurturing future Trump supporters. Nothing to see here
I'm convinced we are living in a simulation.
And I'm convinced it's not because if it were a simulation, it would be a poorly made one.
I feel so sorry for all those kids getting brainwashed with propaganda... Mentally destroying a Persons future should be punished like murder. It's a horrible thing to do to any person.
so cut the education budget and then teach "alternative facts". Why are we doing this to ourselves. This seems like a foreign attack on the advancement of our people, from our own people.
America, are you seriously trying to look worse than Russia? It's not a contest!
Arexion5293 no no no no. actually America looks bad already. scientists around the world do not hold evolution with as much of a regard as American "scientists". It's like a religion in the U.S. scientists are censored for questioning it. crap that used to happen in the old days. one Chinese scientist said they can't question the government but can question evolution. while in the U.S. they can question the government but not evolution. If you can't even allow scientific inquisition into the theory it's no longer science. people should be allowed to research and disprove
I dunno, America's government isn't deliberately trying to harm people with differing views, differing sexual orientations or transgender people. They're not trying to silence different views with force, and the police force is significantly less corrupted, so I'd say America's still the better country.
I'm not saying America doesn't look bad, I'm just saying it doesn't look nearly as bad as Russia does.
+AllYourBase You can question anything you want in science. But if you expect to be taken seriously, you need to have the facts on your side and evolution has the facts on its side. I doubt it is much an "American thing" as you claim. If anything, the US probably has more evolution denying scientists.
Wow, they literally want to have the right to be stupid.
that would be apt
Welcome to the Dark Ages.
So Americans want to be dumber
Narrowc ross They've gone out of their way to get so dumb already!
The whole point of science is that it is evidence based. Evolution and Climate Change are being taught because that is what the evidence says is happening/has happened. The reason creationism isn't taught as science is that there is no evidence for it. Teach it all you want, but put it in as religious studies or philosophy based courses, not as hard science fact.
Which is also part of the whole evidence based process for science. You change the theory to fit the evidence when new evidence comes to light that shows the theory has a mistake in it, but it doesn't change the basic point that creationism has no evidence behind it and shouldn't be taught as science. The Pastafarian movement developed out of this very point.
Grihm, science does not prove anything.
So basically there teaching "alternative" Facts instead of "Real" Facts.
You beat me to it.
Angry Misanthropist Freak and "they're" still gonna teach grammar too hopefully
Dear Sane People of Florida,
This is our children's future, don't stop fighting. Best of luck and we, the Sane People of the other states, will support you the best we can.
This is not "conservatives" but corporate stooges and loons who'd want to deny science. I consider myself conservative and went to Catholic school from preschool to college and we have a very strong science foundation.
Fair enough, but it's conservative voters that allow politicians to pass bogus things like this.
2+2 does not equal 87, the answer is obviously 22.
as a non-american, i can only say: " Yes america, continue that way. Europ and Asia will carry on"
You think they will not set the whole world in flame before going down?
I really don't understand why people are so against and straight up deny scientific facts. And wanting to push that ignorance on kids is mind boggling and infuriating. Why do you want to be ignorant... why. I just don't understand.
slaves don't need to be educated...they just need to obey and work. simple
I think the problem is in the framing. in the minds of republicans green technology is tree hugger nonsense. all the media focus is on the earth warming and causing an increase in natural disaters but generally speaking weather patterns haven't changed in a noticeable way. the focus should be put on the fact that green technology can save money,create jobs and reduce funding for terrorists.
Reminds me of North Korea where they don't teach science...but rather the "Magic, the Myth and Wonder of the Stupendous, Awesomely Amazing Kim Family".
I don't know how to respond to that.
Honestly, what is wrong with your country ?
"Don't forget kids, Jesus want us to vote for Republicans!"
It's unfortunate that we are even talking about this horse shit. We are apparently very stupid.
Ignorant people are easier to control
Humanity is fleeing to the safety and ignorance of a new dark age. We must be dangerously close to discovering Cthulhu.
David Axelord+ I'd rather Cthulhu in charge than Christians.
Some people just want to see this world go back in time.... to days where stupidity was considered a blessing and a gift....
I'm religious (Christian) and even I'm pissed. Honestly, my school is a public school and is way too religious. And it's Christian. I know atheists and Buddhists, etc. and they should not be forced to learn MY religion. I wouldn't want to be forced to learn theirs.
Kaizer Villain That would be ok. Actually, I think we should mean about other's religion. However, they are learning one religion as are ridiculed for not following it. That's my problem. It completely disregards the first amendment.
Kaizer Villain If I had any impact on my school I would do something. I'm a student. I've talked to teachers and tried to talk to other administrators about it. They didn't listen because they support it. To them, I'm damned to Hell because I pointed the situation out. And I'm not exaggerating; they said that to me. I've tried to talk to other students. The only ones that agree with me are those practicing different religions. And they said that it bothers them, but they're used to it. Isn't that sad? Trust me, if I had power I would. I changed the schedule for the school year by talking to the superintendent and petitioning. I tried. However, my school is filled with too many self-righteous people to even get enough signatures to meet with the administration.
Kaizer Villain I am blaming the people. I know Christians that aren't like that. I'm Christian myself. I know change isn't easy. But one person in the middle of Nowhere, PA isn't going to change anything either.
This is a joke right? You want kids to blindly accept what is being taught to them?
James Barker of course they do. they're religious.
Yes. Its a necessary component of learning.
I'm looking forward to schools teaching the hindu or muslim creation theories with creationism and evolution... oh wait...
It's always been ok, even encouraged, to be stupid in Florida. This is no big change.
Now, it's compulsory.
"Funny" how the only subject they target is Science.
I think there on a war path with science. BUT, they hate education altogether. Hence hiring Ms Betsy DeVos.
An educated society is generally a critically thinking society that is less likely to fall for someone's lie. That's why D. Drumpf loves the 'poorly educated'. It's just so much easier to cheat them out of their rights.
Next we are going to have legislators have classes that challenge the laws of mathematics. "The 0.1% can't have more money than the bottom 90%. 90 is bigger than 1"
if 80% all work at wall mart or target and 0.1% own investment companies or retail companies that they have worked their behinds off to become successful and then hire those 80% yes they should earn more than the majority. There are less at the top and more at the bottom because so many people give up or just don't try. And as millennial I see this attitude in a lot of them who just believe everything is given to them.
I am not saying that those who worked hard and earns a lot doesn't deserve it, but I do have a problem when those same people make it difficult for anyone else to be successful. That same group that work at Walmart who do work their asses off have to go on government assistance programs just to put food on their tables.
It should be if you have the dream and the drive, you can achieve anything. But a kid in from a broken home with dreams of being a doctor is stuck in a public school system that has little to no funding and has no one to cosign a loan to go to school for that medical degree, what kind of hope does that kid have?
What's with the flood of juvenile creationist comments? Did a Christian "school" tell their students to comment on anti-creationist videos as a group project?
One type of religious people doesn't represent everyone in that group
As global warming causes the sea level to rise and Florida slowly goes underwater ..........
And ppl will stay put and drown, right? xD
+Joan Evans It's called a silver lining.
*And..I will REQUIRE that all students learn Russian!*
science is facts, facts is reality you can't just disagree with it!!!!!
IMD One A scientific theory is the same as a scientific fact. Go back to school
RIP public education. I feel sorry for every child who wont be able to pass the simplest of exams. and for the increase of failures during the first year of college. Because believing a sky daddy and preying to do better doesnt increase ones math abilities. I'm seriously moving out of this country if these sorts of laws are in place with my kids. I mean unless the big tech giants pull together to create a super school.
Why stop at creationism? Let's learn the ways of scientology. Let's learn the ways of ancient aztecs. Perform mock sacrifices atop of pyramids. Let's just go all the way back to the barbarian days.
Ugh... I live in Florida... I gotta move outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason they added pornography is so they can later challenge books outside of the science curriculum.
Its so we can't teach sex ed.
Facts cannot be "fair and balanced". They are either true or not.
let's see when someone who needs a triple heart bypass who is against science. Better start praying real hard.
Sounds like all of America will soon be Amish country... but with access to nukes.
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I worry about all backwater places in the world with the means and/or intend to destroy, including the USA. Now more so than ever. Letting your own people suffer is one thing but denying the conclusions of all climate change research (and now science in general) that is going to affect us all in the long run.
For Republicans, thinking from a long term strategic standpoint, it is good policy to teach kids "anti-science" classes. After all, nothing more ensures the likely victory of abysmal candidates like Donald Trump than a population that basks in ignorance.
