I think the issue may be deeper than just science and math education:

Sometimes a little humor helps.

I think that the public actually understands that math and science as
currently taught is very irrelevant to their lives.  It certainly is
necessary to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers,
but even there science and math teaching is not optimum.John M. Clement
