Only familiar with one of them, but "teachers are taught science as a religion" seems spot-on.



I disagree. Teaching science as a series of facts is in no way akin to religious indoctrination.

Edit: And Kaye is also ignoring the fact that every high school science curriculum covers the scientific method and includes hands on experimentation.


You've never seen how students too often get better grades on "perfect" science experiments than on honest reports of "failures" (experment differed from expected outcome)?

You must've been in an elite high school.


That actually did happen to me sometimes. I don't think you can convince me that there's anything religious about it.
