The E Word

??

We should use 'critique' instead of 'evaluate'.

We need to not limit thinking.  How many conformists are nobel prize winners?

In my college sci classrooms, I teach my students to question ideas and appearances.

Our greatest thinkers were considered wackos.

I urge you to keep language that makes good sci happen in this state.

We should keep s&w.

B  Is pseudo sci a prob with your students?

?? Pseudo is a claim that is made when philosophy enters into the discussion of sci.

Cory Cunningham

Public hs senior

I intend to defend the rights of every student given us by the constitution.

It's the board's duty to make sure both s&w are taught and considered.

B  When did critical thinking start in your educational process?

Cory  Students are asked to think critically at every level.

B So you would come to a sci class already with the ability to critically analyze?

Cory  Absolutely.

Eric  S&W is a toxic term.  If we put it in our standards, we invite litigation disaster.  Mktg is powerful.  

He blames the 2 dems on the board for not putting a 7th expert on the expert panel, purposely keeping it 3pro and 3anti, thereby perpetuating the even-handed controversy.

S&W has been rebranded since you adopted it 20 years ago.  It has been co-opted by ID'ers since 1997, and should be taken out.  

B So in your opinion a&e language would be less toxic?

Eric  I don't have an opinion on a&e, just definitely not s&w.
