New Florida law lets any resident challenge what's taught in science classes
Interesting how the US is following Turkey here in phasing out evolution.<p>This is how the great Islamic empires of the past fell. They were open minded towards science and then there was a backlash from religious conservatives who started blaming all their problems on liberals.<p>The very same thing happening in the US. Religious conservatives pushing that the source of all American problems is liberalism and liberals.<p>There is not just an attack on science going on but liberal ideas like a free press. Increasingly conservatives see regular free press as fake news trying to undermine America itself. You see increasing calls for shutting up the media.<p>I believe America is a victim of its own success. The American dominance in so manu areas has bred complacency. One takes being a scientific powerhouse for granted.
