the supposed scandal that most American high school biology teachers have not drunk the Darwinade yet is the comments section, for example,

I’m completely convinced that the reason actual science has such a poor impact in the science classroom is that large segments of the scientific community absolutely insist on drawing sweeping theological conclusions from biology that they feel strongly impelled to proselytize.

Yes, some do openly acknowledge the obvious New Atheist attempt to get the biology teacher to teach what has never been demonstrated, but supports the Darwinist worldview.

It;’s almost like all the tax burdens and rich and thick widows’ legacies went to lunch, and some real people had a look. Enjoy it. Won’t last.

Except they don't call it "the obvious New Atheist attempt to get the biology teacher to teach what has never been demonstrated"; they call it "science". It never seems to cross their narrow little minds that perhaps the reason that Darwinism "has such a poor impact in the science classroom" is actually because the theory has some major scientific problems, problems that are obvious to any educated person who has not been blinded by an a priori commitment to its truth.Bruce David
