re: #884 Sharmuta

So you like that individual teachers can undermine the elected and appointed officials in charge of standards and curriculum? All with protections against the consequences of doing so? I think of these bills not as “academic freedom” but rather academic anarchy.

What is to stop other teachers from doing the same in their subjects? What happens when an anti-Semite decides they’re going to teach Holocaust revisionism? All with the state’s blessing!

You make an excellent point there. It was “academic freedom” bills that ushered the marxists into control of our teaching colleges. Do we want that same thing to happen to science courses at a high school level ? I don’t think so.
