The government of Turkey is scrapping all references to Charles Darwin and evolution from school textbooks. While evolutionary biology will still be taught in universities, the educational ministry has decided that those concepts were too advanced for high school students.
Thank goodness we don’t have the kind of religious fanatics in the United States that would take evolutionary biology out of textbooks and substitute “creation science.” To teach that a god created the earth in six days, some few thousand years ago, would be ridiculous.
Turkey is so backward.
