Oh, you mean the class taught by a phys ed instructor that had no training in the sciences or philosophy and the course used only video-tapes which presented the creationist's side as fact and did not present both sides and the course that argued against evolution by presenting 'facts' to the contrary which would make it a 'science' course not a philosophy course. Oh yeah, this was not about philosophy but a crude attempt to put out garbage by an unqualified phys ed instructor (who by the way, just happened to be the wife of a local minister and a proponent of creationism). You can teach the garbage all you want. That does not mean you have the right to use taxpayer dollars for that and put out garbage to students in the public school system.
I would rather be on that phys-ed teacher’s side than the side that sued over bumper stickers about keeping an open mind.
America is supposed to be a free country. If the government wants to force kids to school, then fine— but when the government wants to undermine a child’s faith against the parents’ wishes, I would only agree with regard to countering murder cults.
People get really impatient with Christians. But DAMMIT, it’s Christians who are making the world a better place. It’s the enemies of Christianity who cause most of the world’s problems.
So it goes to show again that the whole issue isn’t about teaching science correctly,(as if that can happen considering the quality of public school textbooks) because after telling us time and again that creation should be taught in philosophy classes, when someone tried that, they got sued as well.
And the evos threw their support behind in when there was a thread on it, just as is happening on this thread.
It’s not really about science, it’s about ideology. Evolution just happens to be the convenient distraction to throw up to people as a smoke screen.
The liberal mindset of the evos here, approving of federal control of schools and curriculum, coerced payment of the hijacked public education system, denial of religious freedom, supporting taxing churches.... the list goes on, is amazing. About the only issue I’ve ever seen the evos take the conservative side on is on the second amendment.
