Bench Talk | Bibles in Public Schools - Vitamin C Megadoses - Science of Handwashing | Dec. 16, 2024

Mark Alsip debunks some common myths like the real reason hot water helps clean our hands, and how the majority of the earth's atmospheric Carbon Dioxide is there naturally, and how humans are upsetting it's balance. He also discusses whether daily megadoses of Vitamin C really prevent colds and flu. Then, Dave Robinson discusses a new Texas public school curriculum that integrates the Bible into lesson plans for K-5 students. Next year, millions of children could be required to study, and be tested on, stories from the Book of Genesis and the New Testament. Why are STEM-education activists opposed to these changes?
