Americans love express their opinions. After all, the United States was established based on freedom of speech. In any sporting event, such a loud opinion can be seen. No matter which stadium or a gym stand, you will be able to hear the opinions of specialists in the outstanding seats while sitting in 15 rows and drinking three beers.
Trying to get a family agreement on where to eat is as complicated as diplomatic tension. The Strategic Planning Meeting is a “American torture room”, and all share opinions about using “or OR instead of AND”. We all have read “Opinions of Experts” on Facebook.
On Sunday morning, I talk to TV. I’m shouting my opinion as if my voice arrived on the screen like magic and let the politicians in interviews accept my opinion. It doesn’t make sense, but it feels very correct.
However, sometimes the opinion is not important. For example, even if you’re standing in the rain and doesn’t rain yourself, you get wet.
That’s not an opinion. That is denial.

Strict facts are better than loud opinions.
This is an example of a denial that affects our future. If these opinions disable the actual fact, Iowa will be “wet”.
The Iowa State Education is trying to delete climate change and biological evolution based on science criteria taught in junior high school and high school. Under the new DOE standard, “climate change” is replaced with “climate tendency”. Under new standards, “evolution of living things” is “evolution of living things over time.”
I’m not a scientist, but I know that words are important, especially when discussing science facts. I remember my favorite Mark Towein’s words about the power of words. Mr. Toein said, “The difference between the almost correct word and the correct word is a big problem. This is the difference between lightning insects and lightning.”
The Ministry of Education is trying to trick students and believe political opinions using the words of lightning stone. Some political rightists do not want to admit that humans play some role in climate change. The fundamental Christians prefer the literary story of the Bible Creation.
It is insisting that there is no correlation between smoking and lung cancer that humans have no relationship with climate change. The Bible’s Creation Story is not science. That is a belief.
The Ministry of Education states that the change was approved by the 37 scientific educator teams. It is not true. As reported by Cedar Rapids Gazette, the team maintained the original language of the 2015 scientific standard and did not make any changes in evolution and climate change. The change was made by DOE.
“The documents submitted for general opinions were not the one we voted and reached,” said Angie Brightback, a team member of the Debug Community District.
The public comment period for scientific standards is continuing until February 3rd. You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that climate change is a reality and an influence on the world. The terrible flood, extreme storms, and fire are not just the weather as usual. We should listen to the opinions of experts, and are not politicians or friends who have hardly studied high school science now becoming Facebook experts.
Yes, there are abnormalities in the science world who ignore climate change and evolution. In many cases, they are hired for science.
During the past several councils, the Iowa State Republican Party has developed a movement to eradicate politics from the classroom. The Ministry of Education is now trying to intervene political opinions in science classes.
Don’t you think it’s ironic?
I respect different opinions. My hobby is to write an opinion essay, so I’m not shy to share my opinion. However, especially in science classrooms, you must not be fooled by the opinions.

How to weigh
The Ministry of Education of Iowa will hold a last open forum on the proposed scientific standards in the ROOM B100 of Grimes Building of the Demoin 400 E. 14th St. from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Thursday, January 23. 。 You can also participate in the meeting from ZOOM. The public comment period will end on February 3rd. Iowa can answer online questionnaires by then.
