"Evolution -- is that the Darwin theory?" Cashman shook her head. "I don't know just what he was thinking!"

i dont mind teaching multiple things, but you should at least explain evolution

Whatever, if I were a biology teacher (which I may become someday) I'd comply and teach it (to keep my job) and use it as an example of how pseudo-science isn't science.

They need to seriously ask these same people if the world is flat and if its the center of the universe.

yeah, that was the creepiest part to me, too. I was raised in a christian home/school (thank something something Im out of that now) and even *I* was taught a(granted, very basic) overview of darwinian evolution.

"The movement is to get the truth out," Nason said by telephone from El Cajon (San Diego County). "We Christians have as much right to be involved in politics as evolutionists. We've been asleep for two generations, and it's time for us to come back."
Right.....'cause christians are a political minority in the United States. :roll:

In Texas, the nation's second-biggest school textbook market, the State Board of Education approved health textbooks that defined abstinence as the only form of contraception and changed the description of marriage between "two people" to "a lifelong union between a husband and a wife."

*sigh* Whether or not you agree about the marriage part (I happen to find it closed minded), the contraception part is just plain dumb.

I hate organized religion. I hate backwater hicks. I hate people who hold darwinism to a higher standard than creationism (as stated above: "Like there aren't any gaps in the Theory of Creation either"). I hate people who insist on integrating their beliefs into the realm of education. I hate people who think science isn't held to high standards of proof and fact. I HATE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU DIE, YOU ARE A DRAIN ON THE WORLD

"Evolution -- is that the Darwin theory?" Cashman shook her head. "I don't know just what he was thinking!"


The drive to bring more religion and what have been labeled "moral values" into the classroom goes beyond challenges to Darwin's theory, Scott said. The Charles County school board also proposed to censor school reading lists of "immorality" or "foul language" and to allow the distribution of Bibles in schools. In Texas, the nation's second-biggest school textbook market, the State Board of Education approved health textbooks that defined abstinence as the only form of contraception and changed the description of marriage between "two people" to "a lifelong union between a husband and a wife."

*sits down, rests head in hands, and cries*

Christians (I am one btw) see their little empire slowly disintegrating in a sea of other faiths and secular humanism. They want their power back and are going to behave like the animal rights groups to do it. This means frivilous law suits, protests, demonstrations and passing idiotic rules like this one.

Faith is a personal thing and since seperation of church and state must stand reguardless of what you believe, because the alternative is to repeat a bunch of mistakes of the past. Teach your Creationism at church or home, but we must keep religion out of public schools and government.

The results of other countries (middle east) have shown what happens when faith over rules common sense and democracy.

This schoolboard's descision will be challenged and over turned shortly, I pray.
