Could Religious Groups Have Say on Science Education?

let me push back. Without changing the scientific content, would it not be good to allow religious organizations suggest language that is more neutral? They will be more sensitive to how language interacts with their beliefs. Sometimes simple adjustments to working can reduce conflict. Why not allow for those suggestions?

No, as it should be neutral already and NCSE is self-correcting as seen in the most recent controversy. Having religious organizations to suggest language that is more neutral is usually a facade to insert their religious beliefs, ethics, and values into the textbooks. This is now happening in the area of gender.
