re: #16 Charles Johnson

The problem is so widespread in a third of the country that I’m not sure we can stop it. Parents homeschool their kids just to make sure they aren’t exposed to scientific facts which contradict their religion. But that’s not enough for them, so they pass laws like this which allows people who aren’t even parents of kids in school to challenge science and force the schools to teach religion. But there’s a worse third (or maybe more) of America which is just oblivious to science, politics, information, and any other knowledge that cuts into reality TV watching time.

We’re just kind of a dumb country. What’s the cure for that?
