I am biased, as an Aussie, I have a degree at the best university in Australia. But, having graduated onto a recession I went through a school of hard knocks.
Beyond being focussed upon acknowledging Christ as Redeemer, Saviour, Lord, and God, as well as the creed as a statement of our faith, being born again, to what extent do you as an intelligent person, chose to limit your child, or children to the world of academic brilliance where Christ said that your body is a temple, and surely a secure faith can be challenged when properly called upon after prayer, and quiet time with fellowship of a church?
Is the American Christian faith weak and likely to go to extremist muslim ideology or worse still, trailor trash immorality despite many beautiful Christians living there?
In the big picture, is ignorance a vice of the devil to not properly develope the mind, to abuse God's right and privellege to have a well balanced evangilist and soldier fighting crime buying block votes?

There is nothing wrong with learning and studying science as long as your heart remains in the right place about it. Science is a wonderful thing and studying the awesomeness of this world that God created is exciting too. Science can be a great way to get you closer to God, and many scientists who are intelligent and do fascinating work are also strong Christians. Please don't think that just because we denounce the scientific studies of evolution and a coincidental creation of the earth that we believe science is all rubbish. We just have different motives for studying it.

I am biased as well, being an American. If I were a science graduate and could not educate I would be angry because my country does not have the faith like Australian Christians where there are more well balanced evangelist and less soldier fighting crime buying block votes.
Seriously though, what are you trying to say?

God wants us to grow...
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)
Wisdom and knowladge is important...
"Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth." Proverbs 4:5
"Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding." Proverbs 3:13
"Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path." Proverbs 2:5-9.

You have a degree from the best Aussie university and you cannot spell or compose a decent sentence, or use your faculties to think rationally? Trash your ridiculous ideas and become a humanist.

My kids can stand up for what they believe, if that is what you are saying......
Is there some reason you think American Christians are not educated? Most of us are.....I have 3 college degrees....and my kids are above average in IQ and are educated in their fields. Neither of them would ever consider Islam as a religion, and neither of them is trailer trash....

Dude, I don't know if it's a difference of American and Australian English, but I don't really understand what the question is.
