Description: http://patreon.com/statedclearly 2016 was a rough year in the world of science education. Join us and together, we will Make America Smart Again! ---------------------------------------------------- SUPPORTING STATED CLEARLY ----------------------------------------------------- Here's our patreon: http://patreon.com/statedclearly Here's a link if you just want to give a one time donation: http://statedclearly.com/contribute/donate/ ---------------------------------------------------- THE ARK ENCOUNTER ________________________________ Here's a great video tour of the ark by Tim and Jenn (their YouTube channel is great, by the way. I subscribed!). In their tour you'll see the great artwork done by the ark encounter folks. It really was beautifully done. It's a shame their goals are so destructive to science education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuF4vppNk9k ---------------------------------------------------- MORE ON PENCE AND DEVOS ----------------------------------------------------- Here is Mike Pence's speech to the house of Representatives on Intelligent Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikax0Y0NJsY Here is a link about Betsy Devo's motives for her voucher plan: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/betsy-devos-education-trump-religion-232150 Here is an article about Creationism/Intelligent Design in charter schools: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2014/01/creationism_in_texas_public_schools_undermining_the_charter_movement.html Intelligent Design issues aside, deciding whether or not we should decrease funding to public schools to increase funding to charter schools is a complicated decision to make. There are real advantages and disadvantages. I highly recommend everyone follow this issue at their local state and county levels as our nation moves forward with experimentation. --------------------------- IMAGE CREDITS --------------------------- Various ark photos: https://arkencounter.com/ Artist working on Bear for Ark: Kyle Grillot for The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/us/noahs-ark-creationism-ken-ham.html%3F_r%3D0 Photo of Ken Ham: By John Foxe (Own work) [Public domain'>, via Wikimedia Commons Answers in Genesis logo: By Answers in Genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.org/) [Public domain'>, via Wikimedia Commons Donald Trump Photo: By Michael Vadon (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)'>, via Wikimedia Commons Mike Pence Photos: By Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America (Mike Pence) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)'>, via Wikimedia Commons Betsy Devos photo: Keithalmli at the English language Wikipedia [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)'>, via Wikimedia Commons
