I went to one of the top 5 private high schools in the country. Evolution was split out into a separate class, and alongside it, there was a creationism class. Parents could choose one or both classes.
I can guarantee you the kids who did the creationism only track were not 'disadvantaged' compared to 99% of kids in public school who were taught evolution.
- poorelise 13y agoMaybe they sere not disadvantaged because general standards are low? Actually the topic is a can of worms, we could go on about the purpose of school. I suspect teaching critical thinking is not what schools really want - they want to provide the industry with willing workers. In that context creationists perhaps aren't worse off much, but that doesn't mean much.
- gress 13y agoRight - my point is that you can only talk about people being 'disadvantaged' by creationist teachings when other more important factors have been resolved.
