The part about the CSUN Ed school professors saying all of the scientific errors in the original textbook, collectively, was minor is very telling. When you devalue content, whether it’s fully accurate or not becomes much less significant.
Teaching science via a method that science itself rejects, what could possibly go wrong? Facts (and textbooks) matter, and knowing facts is vitally important before doing experiments. After all, you'd never go and do brake work on your car before knowing how the brake system works and what all its component parts are, would you?
