    Unfortunately, in Florida, “optional” with material like this means “a bunch of teachers will actually use it”

      People will be surprised just how smart and dumb some people can be at the same time.

      My “Magnetic Fields and waves” professor in a high end electrical engineering class. He knew his stuff, but would constantly go on about his love for Trump’s brand of conservatism and would become aggressive to people in class if he suspected them of being either a democrat, a socialist or Muslim.

      I imagine he is doing just well in Florida.

        My astronomy professor was fired for being a massive anti-semite and general rightoid

        Shoulda seen it coming when he talked about the possibility of forests on Mars based on his own comparison of satellite photography

      I’d be curious to see how many teachers actually go through with it and start adopting it into their curriculums. I’m sure Florida is eventually going to use that as a metric to see how “indoctrinated” schools are.
