What can we do to help improve science education in the US?

The number of American adults unsure about the validity of evolution has increased in recent years, from 7 to 21 percent, but growth in this demographic comes at the expense of the other two groups.

The percentage of Americans accepting evolution has declined, but so has the percentage of those who overtly reject it.

"I was very surprised to see that. To me that means the glass is half full," Scott said.

"That 21 percent we can educate......"

A few words or phrases please for the angle of the lean of Fox.

Apart from a few eccentrics everybody is up to their ears in science and wishes it well. I read that 2/3 of American biology teachers skip evolution altogether.

What is your reason for demanding the teaching of evolution. Who cares where we come from? Isn't where we are going of greater interest and science will lead the way.

First, if 2/3rds skip teaching evolution, maybe it is because they fear the censure of Creationists, who tend to be cut from the same cloth as Right-to-Lifers.

While I personally wouldn't spit on them I certainly would avoid having any social contact with them and particularly if that contact involved any degree of intimacy.

If everyone thinks this way we'll have 2 races of humans someday!

There's no such thing as macroevolution in real life.

...should be easy to spread, what with the world being flat 'n'all.

Education in general, and science in particular, are key components to the health of US culture (and others). But basic science knowledge, and even the fundamental process of science, seems to be lacking in many students and adults. This is beneficial to those who sell magnetic ionized techno-junk insoles for your shoes to keep your feet healthy. And for those who sell astrology charts and psychic readings, but other than that, it has little benefit to society. What can be done?

Thanks

The very first thing that should be done, is to prevent all half-wits from having any more children. This at the very least will increase the gene pool of more intelligent adults, who hopefully will produce
bright, intelligent children, who can easily learn math and science.

I presume that the hospital staff referred to are involved in abortion operations. While I personally wouldn't spit on them I certainly would avoid having any social contact with them and particularly if that contact involved any degree of intimacy.
