Well there’s a big surprise.
Another twist.
PBS should have it public funding pulled and should be independent. It acts on its own so it should manage that way.
What a load of horse pucky!
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Sorry, bub, but the "wedge document" has already leaked and exposed that bit of chicanery.
...the PBS materials, on the other hand, will," he said."
Oh, and bearing false witness against thy neighbor is on God's Top Ten No-Nos List. Randal Wenger had best arrange to have himself buried in one of those asbestos fireman suits....
Albert Einstein believed in a Creator and he is certainly a lot smarter than any of the Christian haters in the ACLU.
“the briefing packet only promotes religious viewpoints that are friendly towards evolution”
How about promoting the Scientific evidence that is ‘friendly’ towards evolution? Scientific evidence is not a religious viewpoint.
Oh, looky... another thread about evolution and religion.
Maybe this’ll be the one that finally settles it.

Bwa... bw... bwaaahahahaha....! :-)
Why do we tolerate Government Administered Schools? The whole issue could be solved by getting rid of G-Schools.
>>In the booklet, teachers are instructed to use such discussion questions as: “Can you accept evolution and still believe in religion?” The answer to that query is provided as: “Yes. The common view that evolution is inherently antireligious is simply false.”
“This statement is simplistic and not neutral among different religions, and in that sense arguably inconsistent with Supreme Court teachings concerning neutrality,” said attorney Casey Luskin, program officer for public policy and legal affairs at the institute.<<
This is absurd. These people are absurd.
The people making these attacks on science are the people who spend their lives trying to force schools to teach religion.
For them to come back and say that teachers are not allowed to even say they don’t oppose religion and that science doesn’t oppose religion is highly hypocritical.
Why would anyone expect a left wing organization to care about free speech? They are the ones who eliminate free speech when they get into power.
Cool. Do we get to see where the ID proponents perjured themselves when trying to distance the ID policy from their religious agenda?
I suggest a counter-point.
All the lawyers, teachers and others who embrace Darwinism and evolution in their dying moments will see one of God’s creations for themselves. It is hell.
When and how did the Federal Government or the SuprremeCSourt get the power to decide how the states should run their schools? I don’t see it in the Constitution.
All this driving along life’s road arguing about what we see in the cosmic rear-view mirror is going to seem pretty danged foolish when we run smack into the future we never saw coming.
Perhaps this point is just so obvious that it’s never been considered, but there is no tangible difference between Creationist matter (whether old or young Earth), Evolutionist matter, and I.D. matter. The preception of difference lives only in the grey matter of the various minds holding to the various views, and that is precisely what is the matter. The abject failure to allow that the matter one holds in one’s hand remains as it is without regard to the cosmology subscribed to by the attached brain; the rabid insistence that scientists are wholly calssifiable by cosmology; that scientists who like THIS cosmology are “good”, but those who like THAT cosmology are “bad”; is the nasty, rancid core of the whole crevo debacle.
So much time, money, and energy wasted going around, and around, plotting and planning character assassinations, destroying people’s careers, mounting endless ad hominem attacks, ...
...all of science itself is wholly debased by the collective behavior.
On ALL sides.
ALL need to go to separate corners and wear the pointy hats until they can commit to speaking and acting as functional adults, instead of adult-aged toddlers.
Oh, and in case the inherent point was missed, SHUT UP until then.
But its ok to dress kids up with rags on their heads and discuss sharia law for a whole week.
