This geology instructor isn't allowed to use the word "evolution", or discuss the documented age of rocks in his science classes in Arkansas. No wonder the United States is falling behind in Math and Science. we don't even try to teach the subjects to kids.
It's bad enough to be told as a history teacher that you can't present alternative viewpoints about manifest destiny and the conquest of the American West (I haven't, but you only have to revisit the History Wars of the 1990s for examples), but this is insane. Why bother having science classes if you can't teach actual science?
