A U.S. Science and Education Repression/Regression Theory.
.
When science and education are held back by dogmatic and despotic ideas, we forfeit a better future. Others will pass us by as we cling to yesteryear perspectives, and built on sand falsehoods. Fear of change, and the slow-roll of new knowledge has been the bane of our advancement. Our guardrails may seem wide spread and favorable, but insinuating forces are making strides to narrow our growth, and disallow much flex to a newer, better society.

My science and education repression and regression theory is based on how the American political process and government incorporates its religious, economic, and historical mythos. The United States has many idiosyncratic religious, economic, historical, and political variances. While not all are totally unique to our nation, the twists, turns, schisms, and divisions produced are not easily compared to another, or revealed in one simplistic illustration. My goal is to bring the collaborators together beneath one plausible, and dryly understood umbrella.

Disclaimer: A non-scientist writing about science is risky. My writing here resembles that dilemma. However, if I stay out of the deep end, there can be value in an amateur science sleuth explaining to others who want to understand the basic characteristics of science. I hope my perspective hits a proper place between an overwhelming, jargon filled peer-reviewed article, and getting mostly bad information from your wing nut uncle Bob. “Sorry Bob. Nothing personal.… Possibly.” In addition, the main reason for my short, science explainers is to provide a clearer reference for the repression and regression caused by religion infused government. And F.Y.I, I am not too fond of religion in science or in public schools, which should be the main schooling for America’s children. In this essay, I explain why. Hopefully it will not seem like I am trashing religion. Though being forthright will tend to push it into that region.

Below, I explain how religion has stalled, and in some major ways, held our nation back, especially in science and education. The purposely undefined, and too often covertly implemented, faith based philosophy is unhelpfully intertwined in our government…
