Indeed, some years ago my son’s third-grade teacher led the rest of the class in laughing at him when he brought up the discovery of the rings of Jupiter, and that from certain angles from space even Earth can be seen to have rings. The next day he took in the Smithsonian magazine with the article and pictures from the Voyager spacecraft, and she claimed it was “religious” literature and he couldn’t bring it to class. There’s real Dumb and Dumber.
if cameras were set up in every public school classroom to see what children are being taught there’d be videos like this all over youtube. ain’t gettin’ no betta.
