    There’s a reason Oklahoma is 49th for education.

    During COVID, the biology teacher at the high school I worked (and later, the fucking department head) was a creationist with a Bible college degree that would compliment students for forgoing masks and explicitly taught anti-vaxx shit.

    Climate change is fun too - I put on a PD once and a teacher was really fucking pissed that I was showing data on how Milanokovich cycles do not explain modern climate patterns… literally thought she was going to fight me.

      Milanokovich Cycles

      That has to be the dumbest excuse for anti-climate change arguments I’ve heard in a while.

      Do people really think that every single climate scientist who has dedicated their lives to studying shit that affects the climate, is unaware of and didn’t account for, natural variations in solar energy the Earth receives, which I learned about in elementary school?
