Glad to see that the overall trend of a mistrust of science is reversing the the field of Biology in the classroom.

At a time when misinformation seems to be rampant a decades-long effort aided by the scientific community is bearing fruit. Results published on 10 June show that the proportion of US secondary-school biology teachers who present creationism as a scientifically valid alternative to evolution fell from 32% in 2007 to 18% in 2019 And the amount of class time devoted to human evolution shot up by almost 90%.

Hopefully this cultural war against Science can reverse just like it did here!
