Anti-science is US schools:
Republican state lawmakers in four more states, many of them adherents of a theological worldview with no basis in science, are advancing legislation allowing educators to teach “alternative fact”-based pseudoscience if they believe it to be scientific.
Ars Technica reports on anti-science bills in Alabama, Indiana, Oklahoma and South Dakota (the latter state’s measure has now been defeated) that would protect teachers who “teach the controversy” on global warming or evolution, as long as they believe the course material is scientific — even if it is based on scientifically baseless beliefs.
