On one side we've got a bunch of scientists - who's philosophy espouses striving for neutrality, lack of bias, objectivity, etc.
Are you speaking of the creationists or the scientists with that statement? Because last I heard, giving thought to anything besides evolution means you are no longer a scientist. Am I to understand that this is the definition of being objective and lacking bias?
Generally the creationists are the ones lacking bias. While the evolutonists demand only evolution be taught in schools, (most of) the creationists say teach both and let the students decide.
while promoting poor science education that can and will severely handicap American students.
We are way beyond severerly handicaping American students. On a scientific viewpoint, we're teaching them to take and believe the information they're fed without testing it themselves.
