I'm not sure that "Science" as a category of subject matter is being removed, but perhaps science as "critical thinking' has been weakened. I believe that underneath the catalog of discoveries that science produces, which is the view of science found on quiz shows and I think to some degree, definitions of "science literacy", is a disciplined empirical philosophy. Our mind manufactures experiential reality regardless of how well tethered it is are to careful observation and measurement, as current "GOP" narratives now show. People will often hallucinate under sensory deprivation. The scientific method is democratic insofar as it appeals to what anyone able to do so can observe and measure for themselves, something of which even children can do to a fair degree. Language literacy is knowing HOW TO USE written language skills, not just being able to describe them, and science "literacy" would seem the same. Jurors are commanded to pay attention to evidence, which is a component of scientific thinking. When MTG says something dubious, and you look up the record, that is a component of scientific thinking, even apart from the whole exhaustive, formal methodology of professional science. You don't have to be a pro to stumble though a game of football. Those invested in unsupportable views of reality will not be fans.
I know I oversimplify, but it seems to me that in my lifetime education has been pushed to be overly focused by the essential function of job training over life skills in general, to satisfy commerce. It is my impression that, from that commerce perspective, the aim is to produce uniform, interchangeable, and disposable DNA-based robots, to hold the line before steel and silicon based replacements can be readied.
