Jokes rely on upsetting the balance between what is socially acceptable and what is forbidden by using the forms of the socially acceptable to express forbidden impulses (cf. Freud, "Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious"). In your post, you invert this process by using the methods of the forbidden (vituperation, etc.) to introduce socially acceptable notions (high school science as a normative model for for educated discourse and inquiry). The problem with this method is that it uses crude methods to express platitudes, so that it is neither daring, nor funny.
Further study is required.
