Restoring True Science Education in Schools
John Droz of North Carolina is proof-positive that one person can move mountains. The retired physicist recently convinced his state’s board of education to restore a vital component of school science curricula that had been ousted by leftists a decade ago.
The culprits in this drama are two documents: A Framework for K-12 Science Education, published in 2012 by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), and its companion document, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), released the following year by a consortium of state and national education groups.
On the surface, the publications seem innocuous and even praiseworthy. After all, who wouldn’t support new and improved educational standards? But, says Droz, “the overall objective of the Framework and NGSS is to replace real science with political agendas.”
