[Catalist] Belief in Creationist Pseudoscience in Australia renaissance

[Leon Harris]

I don't think the risk is that high Brendan.
In the state sector, they are very accountable for incompetence, and the 
secular system, with it's Standards division will eat them.

In the private sector, in my experience, professional science teachers 
put a lot of pressure for this not to happen. The triennial cycle of 
re-registration, and the extensive dependence on the state purse of 
almost all but the most elite private schools means it is a most 
dangerous path. Given a choice of losing 9-10 K$ per student per year, 
or hanging out a lay preacher in 10-5 Science out to dry, I am pretty 
sure the way most schools will go.

So other than the occasional snipe, I am pretty sure that most 
fundamentalist religious schools in WA do a pretty good job of teaching 
science.
If you have evidence of one that is not, make a complaint via

and cc Bethany Hiatt into it.
