Don’t Bother Me With the Details

Such as the definition of theory in a scientific context.

KENTUCKY GOP OUTRAGED COLLEGES WANT STUDENTS TO KNOW THINGS

ACT, the state’s testing company, interviews professors to figure out the things most important to student readiness for college, which sounds like a smart thing to do. Unfortunately, those professors have bad news: If you want students to do well in biology classes, they have to know about evolution.

I’m not sure how the Kentucky politicians equated not teaching evolution with better critical thinking skills, but I’m not surprised they don’t see the problem.

    Diversity: There must never be a single philosophy of government, a single frame of reference, a single virtue, a single purpose, a single norm, a single grammar, a single assessment, a single correct answer, a single adequacy, a single approach, a single skin color, a single morality, a single justice, a single time of day. We must gouge out and burn all that is quantified and standardized as a surgeon excises cancer – with a wide periphery to be very, very certain, followed by chemotherapy.

    Christian conquerors encountering heathen statuary whacked off noses to end their practical magick. Mandatory rhinoplasty before matriculation of unbelievers!
