If I were the president…
I would’ve used today’s virtual town hall to say the following:
This is the 21st Century. We need to have science education standards that reflect that fact. And the Theory of Evolution is at the core of modern biology. Therefore, I will withhold federal education dollars from any school district, any state board of education that makes any effort to weaken or eliminate from the curriculum the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in order to serve a narrow religious viewpoint.
Unfortunately, it would probably come too late to stop the shenanigans going on here in Texas, but it would definitely get the attention of the hypocritical theocratic nutbars attempting to dumb down science. Hopefully, it would stop future attempts to water down established science in the name of theocracy.
