Science (as in Bacon's inductive method) is just an archaic holdover from the 16th century, and outside of a minority of industries where it has some pragmatic function, is more or less useless, especially given that K-12 education, and most low-level college education is dumbed down to something akin to the 6th grade reading level, intended only for people with IQs in the 100 range or so.
I'd argue that it should be reduced to an elective, only for people who are going into it for a full time job in some scientific industry (much as we don't teach medicine as a general subject in schools, except for students going into medical school looking for a job in a medical industry).
After we scrap science, (and hopefully most of the popular myths, superstitions, and nonsensical or archaic 19th century teleogogies associated with it by the uneducated or barely educated classes of people), we can replace it with superior subjects; law for one, would be a much better subjects for schools and universities to teach as a general subject, given how uneducated and misinformed the average American is about the basics of his own legal systems, "rights", and institutions.
In regards to philosophical voids left, we can easily teach something akin to the Structural-Systematic creation philosophy, which would be far superior moral, intellectual, and aesthetic philosophy than most of the trashy, anti-intellectual, and aesthetically inferor "pop philosophy" associated with the biological theory of evolution (or whatever archaic 19th century information on said theory or theories is passed off as education in public schools universities, and lowbrow mass media and their outdated methodologies), and the nonsensical rantings and ravings about it from the low-IQ mouth-breathers who naturally dumb whatever few grains they've gleaned on it down to the lowest common denominator; the point of it being as laughable to more or less anyone with intellectual, social, or emotional intelligence above the 90-100 range such archaic snake oil is peddled to, akin to morons believing that X-Men or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is real life.
