Re: Thank Darwin

Actually I am for teaching multiple theories in school. Part of learning is how to think, how to research, and how to reason. Unfortunately most school is now about regurgitating what the teacher spewed (either required or thiers). If taught with details a student should be able to reason to the best choice while considering that it may be incorrect and that alternatives currently exist or may be possible (thus it is a THEORY).

Government run education means getting told only what the government wants you to know and not actually learning anything, let alone use your own brain to decide upon your own views.

Re: Thank Darwin

I don't think that the public schools ought to be trusted to teach any subject that requires faith or belief. Do it yourself, folks.

Just as I taught my kids that certain of their teachers were unmitigated assholes, I also taught them that they need to take what skills they can from school and learn what they really need know about life from experience.

Then what are you afraid of? While I partially disagree with your point I do not believe the answer is to outlaw theories.

Further I think it would be wise to teach children that the earth is flat then walk through the theories that got us to today. The illustration that provides is very instructive.

11 people bringing suit against a school board is significant, since they're potentially sharing actual costs.

Read on - the community has voted out 8 of 9 members of that school board. That's an indisputable majority.

Why not? I think most have something to teach. While I have my preference, devout people I have met are wonderful humans regardless of which they attend.

Re: Thank Darwin

While I agree that one can find moronic assholio "teachers" in a gubmint skool without taking five steps, there are also many good teachers stuck in the gubmint system. Most would be glad to drop the gubmint indoctrination crap for a chance to actually educate children in a real school.

Nope however one thought he was G*d so that kind of excludes him. The other (Cruise) while he is a liberal wacko and so is his wife, he did take personal time money and plane to New Orleans to help and unlike some did not bring his personal photography team. Also I have a hard time calling something based upon a Science Fiction book a religion

Rather I was referring to friends I have that are Islamic (top notch fellow, not sure the sect though), Jewish (ditto), 7th Day Adventist, Roman Catholic, Mormon and a variety of Protestants. Likely I am missing some but you can see I have had the privledge of meeting a great variety of great folks.

The earth is flat is a scientific theory. It was tested, didn't pass muster and is now a memory.

There is no way to scientifically test religion. It's "faith based". Religion is not a theory. There is NOTHING scientific about it. It is the exact opposite.

Keep it out of my schools. It doesn't belong there. If my kid needs religious brainwashing in class I'll send him to the private school of my choosing.

Why does some teacher need to teach my kid this crap. If it's important to you do it at home, but don't force it down my throat.

ACLU gets it right again.

Why? IMO, highly hypocritical for a person who believes in the Bible.

The Bible is most certainly at least partially a work of fiction.
