I wonder if the statistics apply to this forum as well. Who here does not know that the earth revolves around the sun?

I teach high school science. I also have a degree in physics. Every opportunity when I go out to bars, I try to hide these facts because they both elicit discussions from the most random people, and I'm constantly surprised by how ignorant some people can be about basic science/math.
By the way Texas just changed the law so kids only get 2 years of real math and science education. They get to pick an 'elective math/science' the third year and nothing the fourth. We're all doomed.
