[extropy-chat] who is failing science?

[gts]

Today the Thomas B. Fordham Institute published "The State of State  
Science Standards 2005"

http://www.edexcellence.net/institute/publication/publication.cfm?id=352

The report grades each state A to F for K-12 science programs.

15 states received an F.

I compared the map of science standards grades to the 2004 political map at

Seems that if you live in the US and your kids are attending a failing
science program then you probably live in a Strong Bush state.
