Little by little, the federal Department of Education appropriates ever more power for itself. (Never mind that the department might very well be unconstitutional in the first place.) Today, most public schools are dependent one way or another on federal funds. Those funds don’t come without strings — and, under the Obama administration, bureaucrats have tightened those strings considerably.

Through the Race to the Top competition, the Ed Department enticed states with reward funds to adopt national standards. (Some state leaders — like Texas Gov. Rick Perry — turned down the funding, but they were the exceptions.) The common core applies to just English and math — relatively straightforward subjects. But it’s probably just a matter of time before the administration bribes states to adopt national science and history standards, as well.

It’s not science when someone is twisting your arm and telling you what you VILL BELIEVE or else!

I cannot understand why liberals, who for the most part believe in evolution, deny that the Earth can evolve too.....

I consider both Global Warming and Evolution to be junk science. They are far more about political indoctrination than about science.

While on the subject of evolution, here is an interesting link with another proposed hominid. I haven’t had time to read it so I don’t know if it is recent like Hobbit man, or ancient like Homo Erectus. My guy is yelling for me to get off the PC and come to bed. I wonder if they did that in caves too. ;-)

Before language, the guy would just waltz up and konk ya. I’m not sure how the computers worked back then, maybe the unary system, for the first half-million years or so, then someone discovered ones.

LOL gleeaikin. Don’t let your guy see this. At least the PC doesn’t yell. Maybe I shouldn’t say that. Sometimes the PC can yell as much as a guy (all them bells and whistles). LOL

Just like Evolutionism.

“Climate Science” and Evolutionism are the ugly twin sisters of junk science
