The link title is a bit hyperbolic. Looking into a bible belt classroom is as easy as interviewing (or simply just talking to) current and former students and faculty. Having grown up in the bible belt I can attest to how backwards the approach to knowledge (not just science) is. Critical analysis and logic are far, far down on the totem pole compared to propping up incumbent biases. In fact critical analysis (and I use that term loosely) is often only viewed as valid if it supports a pre-determined viewpoint. This is probably not a surprise to anyone who has spent even a brief period of time in southern US, but it can be easy to forget how much of a real every day occurrence it is.
