Writer: America rushing to embrace ‘stupid’ mprne.ws/x3xgV Other nations are noticing that the people of the United States and science aren’t on good terms. In a scathing article in Maclean’s, writer Jonathan Gatehouse asks if the most powerful nation on Earth has lost its mind? In South Carolina, he says, a school girl’s attempt to have a state fossil was derailed by debate over evolution. He also cites the ongoing dispute against vaccinations, the collective shoulder shrug surrounding domestic spying, the banning of classic books in schools, and, of course climate change. “Everywhere you look these days,” he writes, “America is in a rush to embrace the stupid.” Ouch, eh?
