I had a conversation with a Black school teacher with a PhD, who said that using the scientific method was incorrect, because she and other science teachers met with scientists at JPL and they told those teachers the scientific method is useless in the study, teaching, and application of science. She claimed, "Science is messy," which doesn't really tell me anything. I tried to tell her that when scientists publish their experimental findings in scholarly journals, other scientists have to be able to replicate the experiment to verify the findings. She claimed that no such peer review or verification was required, because the experiment was already done and published once by one scientist. That's like saying I have published something as factual, scientific proof, but no one else needs to test it to make sure my findings are true. Anyone can declare anything in science if that's her view. This Black woman with a PhD is going to impair Black children's right to question authority figures. Every time I opened up my mouth, this Black woman with a PhD interrupted me as if Black guardians of the children she teach could not possibly know anything to contest her views. If this Black woman with a PhD was respectful of anything I had to say, I could have warned her about the ramifications of eliminating the scientific method from the field of science for Blacks. Beware of science teachers at your child's school, who are tossing out the scientific method. Ask them, "Do you teach the scientific method?" Ask, "Why?" If not, they are probably teaching students to call anything they think up as a scientific conclusion. Junk science was used to claim that Blacks are biologically inferior to all other races, born to be slaves of all other races, and could not be allowed to govern ourselves. It is the scientific method that allows us to see junk science like racist thought for what it is. It is the scientific method that allows Black Americans to prove our racial equality with all other races even when they deny us social, political, and economic equality with themselves. If your child's teachers are discrediting the scientific method, they might as well replace logic, reasoning, and critical thinking with feelings, opinions, and beliefs. If the scientific community, educators, and politicians are getting rid of the scientific method, they are going to bring back the junk science that supports the claim that some races are more equal than others. The standards for the practice of science will become sloppy and unethical. Black Americans need our own scientists to negate and resist the return to the junk science that helped to legitimize Black racial slavery. There are numerous Black scientists out there, but they are loyal to a white and immigrant supremacist agenda over Black Americans. We can't rely on them. That is a why a new demographic of Black scientists need to be created that is loyal to Black American freedom and equality. Furthermore, Black Americans need our own charter schools to ensure that the scientific methods is preserved in their education. How do any of you feel about the elimination of the scientific method at your child's school or within the field of science in general? Will it harm or help Black Americans in the long run to allow politicians, teachers, and scientists to eliminate or suppress the use of the scientific method in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)? #science, #scientists, #scientificmethod, #teachers, #education, #educators, #school, #stem. less

The Scientific Method is a way to ask and answer questions about the world in a logical way. There are various versions of the scientific method floating around out there, but I think these six steps are classics. Ask a question, make observations, form a...
