There is no way that they can prove that part. Actual articles should be based on facts, not someone's opinion.

Yeah, math test scores are racist!

In reality, if you work hard at playing the piano, your jump shot, singing and yes even math....you can become a lot better at it.

People put zero effort into academics and then cry when the scores reflect it and then want to deny science and just throw out test scores because they don't want to address WHY but just declare the end result unfair.

Anti-science.

If America embraced science, too many evangelical pastors would be out of work and too many evangelical believers would have nothing to live for. A huge portion of the Cultural Right would be instantly out of power. In addition, too many people would stop relying on Jesus for their healthcare and look to government. That’s a nightmare scenario for the Economic Right.

The Right must continue to resist science. There’s too much money and power invested in Medieval worldviews.

I think you meant to use fundamentalist instead of evangelical?

I know a ton of science professionals that are evangelical, see the link below for what falls under evangelical.

The snake handling, noah riding on dinosaur types is a really small % in the country but they make for admittedly humorous stereotypes.

As such, I think your premise largely falls apart.

The left made science political. It all went downhill from there.

It only took 8 posts on the first page to see the first "coping" post.

I knew the first page wouldn't disappoint.

You understand what that means, don't you? Yeah, NPR can't prove their headline but they can make an assertion to get self-righteous leftists to click on it and feed their inflated egos.

A little over a month ago, the strength of electoral association, combined with top-notch polling data, SUGGESTED Terry McAuliffe had an insurmountable lead in his bid for governor. We all know how that turned out.

Not too sure what a coping post is, but I'm glad you found it.
