According to a recent*report by Slate, Texas’ charter schools have a serious problem. The state’s largest charter program,*Responsive Education Solutions, is teaching an extremely suspect curriculum that is heavy on creationism, sexism, classism, racism and religious dogma, but distressingly light on science, history and facts.
.... Responsive Education is almost completely taxpayer-funded, and that makes these curriculum issues even more troubling.
Through open records requests, Slate managed to get a hold of a set of biology workbooks — called “Knowledge Units” — that students must complete in order to pass the course. Here are a few highlights: The fossil record is unreliable, there is no consensus on the age of the Earth and evolution cannot be scientifically tested. *All three of these claims are patently and unapologetically false, as*Ken Miller, the author of one of the most widely-used science textbooks, points out in the Slate piece. “The statement that ‘some scientists question,’ is a typical way that students can be misled into thinking that there is serious scientific debate about the age of the Earth or the nature of the geological record,” Miller explained*.......
