South Park on Evolution

Always out to mock anyone and anything, South Park took on The Theory of Evolution.  In this case, they show a teacher who really doesn't accept evolution presenting the topic to the class.  As you can expect, his explanation leaves a lot of stuff out and would create more misconceptions among the students. Sadly, this kind of thing happens throughout the country. Though, I doubt that even the worst high school teachers would not use this kind of language.

Enjoy! (Warning: Language- it is South Park!)



We need our science teachers better prepared to present SCIENCE to our students.  As our country falls behind in science and math, we only need to look to the above example to figure out why.  Too many science teachers either outright reject modern science or feel uncomfortable teaching it because of ignorance or intimidation.  Until we can get past this problem, our children and future will continue to suffer through horrible explanations of science like the kids from South Park.
