Malpractice in Education


Um ...

A growing number of Muslim students at a leading British university are avoiding lectures on evolution, saying it is contrary to the creationist ideas stated in the Quran.

Professors at the University College London, a leading multidisciplinary university, have expressed concern over the rising number of biology students boycotting lectures on Darwinist theories, which forms an important part of the syllabus, citing their religion, the Daily Mail reported.

These students include three trainee doctors in one of Britain's leading medical courses.
I'm not sure that you can demand that biologists and doctors believe in evolution but you can sure demand that they know about it.

You mean they were BSing me in law school when they told me knowing wouldn't do and I had to actually believe in the rule against perpetuities?
 
I think they probably meant you had to believe that judges would actually contemplate pregnant 80 year-olds.
 
After Citizens United, I have no problem believing some judges would actually contemplate pregnant 80 year olds.

You can ensure that doctors know about evolution by telling medical students that if, when tested, they are unable to show an adequate grasp of a subject required by the curriculum they will fail to qualify.
