This was more the case in the 60s when science played a significant
role in education at the HS level due to our push to catch up withthe
Russians in space. But for many years now science has been given short
shrift and whacky ideas have gained a strong foothold. And it's not
"politically correct" to tell the whackos they're dumber than a bag of
hammers and crazier than a ferret on crack... which they are despite
the attempt to use "political correctness" to shield them.
