The federal government has no business establishing what should and should not be taught in schools.

If the president plus a substantial majority believed the earth was flat and supported by a tower of tortoises, the fact that they aren't apportioned the power to make it a part of the nation's school curriculum by the Constitution wouldn't be enough to console me.
The federal government does, however, apportion money to fund science, and the president's anti-science attitude has really screwed us over. Thankfully I'm in a position where I don't feel it as much, but I have heard some pretty shocking stories.

If you don't like them, then get the fuck out.
To whom do you delegate it to? The school itself or those paying for it or the state?
I have to agree sycld, funding for and interest in science and engineering fields is declining severely and we are not matching the output of engineers from China, Germany, and many other countries. Our dean just said something like 5% of college students are engineers, which makes me a sad.
Anyway, I find it odd that the Pope can accept evolution but other non-catholic sects cannot. I mean, come on.

I prefer red tape with my education.
