New Study On Biology Teachers Shows Frightening Results

I was just forwarded this troubling NYTimes article from my friend @SylviaSwann and I had to pass it along. There is a dangerous culture war going on in America and it’s one we don’t read about in the news everyday. The radical christian agenda is alive and well in this country. Here’s the most troubling statistic from the article…

“Researchers found that only 28 percent of biology teachers consistently follow the recommendations of the National Research Council to describe straightforwardly the evidence for evolution and explain the ways in which it is a unifying theme in all of biology. At the other extreme, 13 percent explicitly advocate creationism, and spend at least an hour of class time presenting it in a positive light.”
