Abstract | The underlying goal of the scientific literacy movement, to provide science education so all US citizens can reach independent judgments on science-based societal issues, is an unrealistic social goal. A better approach is to develop awareness and appreciation of the scientific enterprise, focus on technology as a practical imperative, and develop understanding of proper use of scientific expertise.
