Stick to the scientific method
The director of the National Center for Science Education has called the intelligent design court case in Pennsylvania the most important one on this topic in 18 years. It is baffling that, in this critical time of global competition, the United States would put its students at a disadvantage in science.
America is still (arguably) the most scientifically and technologically advanced country in the world. Our universities are teeming with Indian and Chinese students coming into our science and technology programs.
However, the United States will not hold the advantage much longer if we confuse our students and neglect the best knowledge science has ever generated. If the scientific method is not taught, how are American students going to succeed?
