These liberals are equal anti-science morons as those who rage against teaching evolution or global warming http://bit.ly/1b7y2Gj
@uxprinciples You don't think that 30 years of under-funded / unfunded education is related to this? An entire untrained generation?

@DaveHogue it's been a while since I studied educational spending trends. 50 years ago did we really fund schools better than now? -
@uxprinciples I think the increase of "private charter schools" & the skyrocketing student debt is a good example of reduced govt funding. -
@DaveHogue So so wrong. 1. Charter schools didn't take off 30 years ago, so that doesn't explain why today's parents are ignorant

@DaveHogue Did our parents really get more/better science training than you or I? I don't think so. -
@uxprinciples My parents were in legal fields... :) As a college professor for 21 years, I definitely see students entering with less. -
@DaveHogue yes but that doesn't explain these parents mentioned in the link I started the convo with, who were in high school in the 80s-90s -
@uxprinciples that's exactly when teaching to the test started - I think of it as the beginning of the decline. -
@DaveHogue lots of people make this claim. Do we have actual data to back it up?
