Do you think that science should be taught this way?

"The marriages between capitalism and education and capitalism and science have created a foundation for science education that emphasizes corporate values at the expense of social justice and human dignity."
The alternative? "Science pedagogy framed around social justice concerns can become a medium to transform individuals, schools, communities, the environment, and science itself, in ways that promote equity and social justice.
Creating a science education that is transformative implies not only how science is a political activity but also the ways in which students might see and use science and science education in ways transformative of the institutional and interpersonal power structures that play a role in their lives."-

I don't think even you can translate what that means, or what point you are trying to make with it, but I will give you a shot at it.

Tell me , oh wise copy and paste goddess, what do you think the above text means?
This reminds me of people who search the Bible for so called relative scriptures to support an argument, yet feverishly grab the fastest one they can find that looks good enough..-

If you will remember, Ayers and Obama appeared together on a discussion about education.
The course above is:
A little over 10 years ago, Ayers and Greene were able to get a series of books on education published. Ayers was editor and Green served on the editorial board (with Rashid Khalidi -- a supporter of the Palestinian cause, the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University.
Khalidi also has ties with Barack Obama that have been widely reported when journalists cover Obama's extensive support for the Palestinians, most recently in the Los Angeles Times "Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama").
How should teachers teach science, for example? According to one of the books, Ayers and Greene approved for publishing.
The above is the sample.

Science did used to be more pure, even when funded by the government, but it's not the teaching that changed things, it was science professors realizing there was money to be made (if not for their own pockets, then for their research activities), by getting sponsorship from private companiesand by forming private companies. The only problem in this is that the change in focus may have derailed some discoveries.
