Turkey to ban evolution from curriculum
January 24, 2017 at 9:27 am
Well, another step in the direction of theocratic dictatorship. That's not even the pretense of keeping what Atatürk had in mind. It's a rollback to the days of the early 20th century. Nationalism and religious nuttery combined.

Quote:The new curriculum draft for primary and secondry schools in Turkey excludes Evolution Theory from biology courses

And as always, keeping them stupid is one of the most powerful tools of wannabe dictators.

Quote:-The failed coup attempt will be included in Social Studies courses starting from the 6th grade.

- The overall academic difficulty is reduced.

- Evolution Theory is excluded from Biology courses. The related unit named “The Origins of Life and the Evolution” is replaced with “Living Beings and Environment”.
