Science Slipping in the States

Debate over science education in America seems limited to whether or not "intelligent design" is taught alongside evolution.

While Americans argue, other countries are producing far more science, math, and engineering graduates.

Last year, the US graduated 70,000 engineers. India produced five times as many. China, nearly nine times as many.

The National Academy of Sciences warns the US is in danger of losing it's lead in science and technology. (AP via Yahoo!)
