Tell me what in the stickers is a lie, and I'll buy you a beer.
But I agree that public schools should not be lying to children. I don't see anything about it in the Constitution, but from a policy standpoint I believe open deception in the public schools is wrong. To that end, I'm sure you'll agree with me that we should immediately abolish the absurdities that pass for drug education.
Who said anything about the Feds?
Uh... the frickin' judge who ruled that these stickers violate the federal Constitution?
It's a lie of omission. The stickers either belong on every science textbook, or on none. It is singling out biology because of political pressure.
abolish the absurdities that pass for drug education.
Another cave-in to pressure groups, IMO.To the extent that "drug education" lies to kids it is counterproductive. EG tell them that pot is as dangerous as heroin, they try pot, find it's not that big a deal, try smack...
Who said anything about the Feds?
I wasn't clear. I was advocating fraud and high crime prosecutions for the liars who mandate teaching ID or creationism as though it were science. I was emphasizing that these would be state cases, not federal.
It is true that the sticker case was heard in Federal Court and was based on 1st Amendment claims.
