Summary: 5 Stars
"Icons of Evolution" should be required viewing for all high school science teachers and parents of high school students. In fact, it would probably be a good thing for high school students to watch the video themselves. The story is compelling, but the issues raised are even more important than the story itself. As a former public high school biology teacher, I'm impressed by how plainly this video lays out some of the fundamental problems with public high school science education. On the one hand, doctrinaire pressure groups like the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), who seem to have only one agenda item, work to impose their particular version of evolution on all students. On the other hand you have weak-kneed bureaucratic administrators who haven't a clue about what it being taught but simply "follow the curriculum as it is given."
In this environment, all innovation is stomped out and students end up with a dry recitations of lessons which contain rubbish mixed in with important information. When I taught using Miller and Levine, the most popular high school biology text at the time, it contained garbage like drawings of embryos by Ernst Haeckel which were recognized as nonsense over 100 years ago. What shocks me is that I seemed to be the only teacher who knew this was garbage. "Icons of Evolution" should be a wakeup call to all taxpayers who continue to flush money uncritically into our public education system.
The potential for something much better than we have is out there. Buy this video, watch it, get informed, get out there and demand change.
