A high school physics teacher in the UK explains why their new physics syllabus is not actually physics (or even science), but rather what I would describe as an assortment of politically correct bullshit.
I don’t know how this compares to the current physics curriculum in US high schools; as far as I know, we don’t have a mandated curriculum at the national level, but rather it is left to the discretion of the states and school boards. However, given how much demand there has been for biology classes to include so-called “intelligent design” (which is religion, not science), I wouldn’t be that surprised to see physics dumbed down as well.
This is yet another reason why countries that teach traditional math and science to their students are going to take the lead in engineering. China and India don’t base their educational curriculum on political correctness.
