Re: [asa] Evolution and history compulsory

Heya Dave,

Demanding quantum physics be a required course in school? Interesting -
after all, quantum physics is a very far-reaching and important field that
shook up what used to be our tradition understanding of nature. Maybe we
should organization national groups whose goal it is to promote the teaching
of and belief in quantum physics. Maybe we should conduct polls repeatedly,
tracking what percentage of the population believes in quantum physics.
Maybe we should ask presidential candidates whether or not they accept
quantum physics, or what their opinion is on the twin-slit experiment.

Nah. That'd come across as absurd, wouldn't it.
