Congress needs to abolish federal courts.
Good God, FReeper. This is the 21st century. We can't do anything without a judges approval. Wake up and smell the Cafe Ole!
Denote heavy sarcasm.
On the serious side, I completely agree with you. It seems best to leave it to local control. For parents and schools to decide.
Evolution must be in the section of the Constitution that I missed, next to Abortion rights.
On what earthly basis???
I am a firm believer in G-d-Directed evolution, but I think that this is not a constitutional issue and a simple disclaimer sticker should be allowed as a local decision. They're still teaching both ideas, so what's the big whoop over a sticker?
The only complaint I've got with it, is the waste of tax money it takes to slap that sticker inside the front cover of each and every science textbook in the county.
There are far better things that I'd rather see my tax dollars spent on -- and dealing with the overzealousness of school board members ain't it.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
This is big, probably need to ping the list!
unconstitutional?????????????
I know for a fact that the founding fathers were scared to death of those nasty disclaimer stickers.
Though I'm on the "evolution side" of the argument, I'm unaware of any school curricula amendments to the constitution. Maybe the necessary and proper clause is all about mind control?
I didn't realize the constitution provided Congress with such a means of passing a law. Does the President have to sign it?
/sarcasm
Too many high-flying judges...
If I were to dress in black robes and make decisions like
this I would be declared Delusional and the men in the long white coats would be ocming to take me away --Haa Ha
Ho ho-he hee/Thhis decision cannot be reconciled to the
S.Ct. decision that declared Secular Humanism could NOT
be established by governement YET when th egovernment schools militate students against Christianity and insist
the only religion taught be Darwinian Fraud then the Public Schools are the ones in violation of the Establishment Clause.Methinks da Judge needs a headcheck
"Adopted by the school board, funded by the money of taxpayers, and inserted by school personnel, the sticker conveys an impermissible message of endorsement and tells some citizens that they are political outsiders while telling others they are political insiders," U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper said in his 44-page ruling.I don't understand his wording. I will have to read the whole opinion to comment on this.
What gives this tyrannical judge the RIGHT to claim he is the "Master" who knows more than We, The People?
Time for this POS to go also.
I looked and I looked, and I just can't find that U.S. Constitution article about evolution.
If a state wants to place a sticker that says "Pi = 3, FOREVER!!!" on all math textbooks, that's the state's prerogative, whether or not they pulled it out of Kings 7:23.
Idiocy is not unconstitutional.
WTF???
"Tyrant in black robe strikes again!!!"
I guess that means no unbiased viewpoints from teachers. /sarcasm
