The scientific method has saved humanity from starvation, has brought prosperity to the many and has allowed ordinary people to travel the world in almost perfect safety, and is on the verge of curing cancer. But due to political chicanery, science of late has been deemphasized in our schools. I’m all for religious discussion in schools. But it is anti-educational when a faith based theory is presented to kids in the guise of a “science.”
And what does having a belief in evolution have to do with any of the above?
The dogmatic belief in macro evolution as the origin of life is as much or more of a religion than anything else I've experienced. And, unfortunately, its adherents have succeeded in making it the state religion
From my perspective, there’s not only been a demphasis in our public ‘ruined by liberals’ schools, but at the same time a pervasive politcally correct Godless liberal socialization of children.
Christmas was removed from the school calendar on Dec. 25th here in our county, secretively (as that’s the ONLY way it could have been removed) because the Georgia ACLU threatend to sue., because it’s OFFENSIVE or due to some psychotic myth of separation of church and state.
BTW, when God WAS allowed in schools back in the 50’s, U.S. children were being properly educated, on our history for instance.
Now days it’s shameful what kids are taught about WW2 for instance!
This incessant worry about this becoming some sort of Bible-thumping proselytizing theocracy if children dare pray let alone recognize God in public schools is nutty and unfounded!
