You might know Bill Nye as the "Science Guy, " but now he's in the spotlight for receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The thing is, Bill Nye isn't a scientist by profession. Sure, he has a degree in mechanical engineering, but that doesn't make him an expert in every topic he discusses.

    His show was once a fun and educational way to learn about science. But recently, he's taken a more political stance, discussing topics like climate change, abortion, and gender. One of his claims is that biological sex isn't just male or female, but rather a spectrum. Science, however, doesn't support this.

    Kids at age 3 or 4? They can't really understand their "gender identity" yet. Science shows that young children aren't capable of that kind of self-awareness.

    Bill Nye also speaks about abortion as if science has the ultimate answer. But science can't solve those complex ethics issues. It only provides facts. The trouble is, when science is used for political agendas, people start to lose trust in it. This can lead to serious problems, like not believing in vaccines or expert advice during emergencies.

    It's not just Bill Nye who's doing this. Many others are mixing science and politics. But Bill Nye is one of the most visible faces. It's crucial to call out when science is misused because trust in science is really important. Instead of celebrating, we need to be cautious.
