Snopes.com: 4th Grade Science Quiz

I saw this circulating on facebook and didn't have strong feelings one way or another about it's legitimacy (whereas my bullshit detector usually turns out to be spot on when I take it to snopes) because I try not to underestimate the ability for humans to assimilate and spread misinformation, even from a teaching role. That said - if true, I hope this teacher is fired and never teaches again without strong supervision.

I think the virality of the original image makes the snopes dissection pertinent, if only because it highlights the way the ability for things to go viral on the internet has changed the way in which people are now being held accountable for egregious abuses of positions of power and leadership, where they may have been able to stay under the radar in the past. This is beyond simply teaching creationism in class. I can't believe a science teacher would instruct their students to respond to being challenged on what they learned with "Were you there?"

OK, you've confused me. You say:

    I am pretty sure I can flag this

So, you think you can flag this ...

    (not enough karma?), but someone should ...

But this implies that you can not flag this.

Have you simply mis-typed yourself, or is that what you really meant to type?
