Interesting how the US is following Turkey here in phasing out evolution.
This is how the great Islamic empires of the past fell. They were open minded towards science and then there was a backlash from religious conservatives who started blaming all their problems on liberals.
The very same thing happening in the US. Religious conservatives pushing that the source of all American problems is liberalism and liberals.
There is not just an attack on science going on but liberal ideas like a free press. Increasingly conservatives see regular free press as fake news trying to undermine America itself. You see increasing calls for shutting up the media.
I believe America is a victim of its own success. The American dominance in so manu areas has bred complacency. One takes being a scientific powerhouse for granted.
