Forgive me for alienating the Republican party in regards to public education. I'm sure the deomocrats do it too, I'm just not personally aware of such obstruction. I'm a young dude, though that doesn't limit me to republican obstruction. As long as I've been alive, republican policies are what have obstructed proper public education.
I, too, went through the public education system in California. K-12, sub a couple months in the Midwest. As I was growing up, I never realized such bias, perhaps I was naive, maybe not.. Whatever the case, I, even today, feel I grew up with an unbiased public education. I remember my 10th grade biology teacher prefacing evolution, but that's about it, I didn't pay it much attention at the time..
I realized the disconnect when I graduated and started digging deeper for myself.
There's no easy way to say it, and Akin and Broun confirm it, republicans don't understand shit about science and have no business deciding what be taught in science classrooms. Most republicans value religious doctrine over reality, and their actions confirm it.
