Kansas Physics Professor Says Evolution Debate Damaging State's Educational Reputation
There are worse jobs than being a science teacher in the state of Kansas. But not much. According to Popular Science Magazine, only two jobs -- a manure inspector and a human lab rat -- rank lower than a Kansas biology teacher, which is akin to being "on the front lines of science's devolution," the magazine states.
The chief culprit in making this such a lowly occupation? The evolution debate, which is damaging the state's educational reputation, politicizing the classroom and "consuming almost everything we do," according to a past president of the National Association of Biology Teachers interviewed by the magazine.
A Kansas State University professor agrees.
