If they are education majors, how are they supposed to realize that they can't teach biology correctly? They may never have been exposed to any real science, let alone evolution, so they don't have any basis to know just how critical evolution is to biology.
Well, it's things like this [and many others] that make it so OBVIOUS that our education system needs a major overhaul.
What do you think of that idea I suggested above: Making teaching into a profession that pays like medicine or law but also requires postgraduate level training, including specific training in particular areas of specialty, such as science, math etc at least to the level of a university undergrad?
