More on the indoctrination of children

Nice attempt to divert the topic. But the fact is that what is happening in that school is unconstitutional. It is also sad that a science teacher would try to force children to say that the earth is only 6,000 years old.

We have a bunch here in Ohio. This is why my children attend a charter school with decent science teachers...I want them to get a science education!

In nations that have an official religion, I would imagine they teach that religion. Since we do not have an official religion (our constitution expressly forbids it) that question really has no relevance.

There are numerous problems in our education system. This is serious because the science class actually ignores science and teaches those children something that will hinder their subsequent education.

Bingo!

How has teaching religious beliefs ever hindered education? Was Lincoln hindered by it? How about Eisenhower? Did it hinder Ghandi?

What an absolutely absurd claim. Where do you people come up with thus level of nonsense?
 
WinterBorn said:
Not wrong. The public school allows the teacher to continue to teach her religious views in place of actual science. Someone may have painted with a broad brush, but I did not and the fact that other schools do right does not excuse this school's willful disregard for the law.

Perhaps you see this as Xtian bashing. I see it as an outrageous example of a school's bullshit. And it should be remedied immediately. The teacher should not be allowed to teach science, and the school administrators should be punished or removed for allowing it to happen with their knowledge.

I see it as paranoid and misplaced priority of concerns, and a weak, but expected, attack on Christians.

Depends on the religious beliefs. I think ritual child sacrifice probably ended the education of a lot of youths in various cultures, as has the religious ban on teaching girls in several Islamic countries.

I would merely point to our respective thanks to groans ratio and suggest that maybe it is YOU who looks painfully stupid to more people more of the time.

Mine and quite a few others on this forum.

How amusing that you woukd think the thanks to groan ratio is an indication of intelligence and acceptance for your painfully stupid points of view.

That is fascinating and about as dumb as any of the dimwitted claims to erupt from your fingers.

You really are THAT incredibly stupid and juvenile.

Whenever I think you have posted the most incredibly stupid argument, you outdo yourself. I have got to quit underestimating your glaring stupidity.

Why would you want teachers to have the freedom to teach irrational and disproven bullshit in the name of Christianity? That is utterly irrational.

Where did I say I wanted teachers to have the freedom to teach irrational and disproven bullshit in the name of Christianity; please point it put for me.

Moron.

All the science classes I have taken in school, never once did my teachers talk about government being good or bad. My teachers talked about science, isn't that weird!

I merely point out that your OPINIONS as to my education are not facts, and, IN FACT, I am undoubtedly better educated than you and obviously smarter than you'll ever be.

Although, I will grant you that, in a scenario in the future where I may suffer from Alzheimer's disease, there may be a brief period between the time that I completely lose my ability to think and the time that I expire where you MIGHT, for that brief window of time, be more intelligent than I will be at that same moment in time.

That's about as big a pat on the back as you're gonna get from me, you moron.
 
truth deflector is a fucking bloating gas bag who runs away from every argument as soon as he starts to realize he's getting his ass kicked and that even an onslaught of his patented insults cannot save him.

Wow! You mean a school actually teaches science in the science class? That is unheard of in this country! They should be working on the harmony in the Praise Obama hymns.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two parents, Scott and Sharon Lane, and their five children, including their son, C.C., who is a Buddhist of Thai heritage.


According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, C.C enrolled in Negreet High School, which serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, earlier this year as a sixth-grader and quickly became the target of harassment by school staff. His science teacher, Rita Roark, repeatedly taught students that the Earth was created by God 6,000 years ago, that evolution is "impossible," and that the Bible is "100 percent true."


Roark also regularly features religious questions on her tests such as "ISN'T IT AMAZING WHAT THE _____________ HAS MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" When C.C. did not write in Roark's expected answer, "LORD," she belittled him in front of the rest of the class. While studying other religions, Roark has told students that Buddhism is "stupid."


When Plaintiffs objected, Sabine Parish Superintendent, Sara Ebarb, told them that "this is the Bible belt." She suggested that C.C. should "change" his faith or transfer to another district school 25 miles away where, in her words, "there are more Asians." Ultimately, C.L.'s parents did transfer him to another school to protect him, but school officials at that school also unconstitutionally promote religion.


Beyond Roark's classroom, the school also regularly incorporates official Christian prayer into class and school events. School officials display religious iconography through hallways and classrooms, including a large portrait of Jesus Christ, and an electronic marquee in front of the school scrolls Bible verses as students enter the building.

I hope the Christian classroom wins out. It'll help offset classroom brainwashing like this:

Right, because being taught to praise an elected official is much worse than being taught unscientific ideas in a science class.

Why not fight them teaching kids to praise Obama by teaching Spanish in the English class and using the math class to teach kids to count on their fingers.

The "praise Obama" crap is ridiculous. But teaching science like the teacher in the OP is not only not teaching science, it is harming the children's education in the future.
 
Wrong again; the OP took a singular event to paint with a very broad brush. Like I said, I find the paranoid concerns over teaching creationism in our schools less of a concern than the efforts to indoctrinate children to become willful ignorant dependent dupes of the State.

This clown uses the same playbook as SF. Instead of addressing the problem they deflect with whining about any criticism being an overly generalized attack, by those marxist homo liberals. lol

This is not uncommon. It's very widespread and deeply ingrained throughout the Bible belt. The children and families that come forward will be viciously attacked. If it were not for the ACLU, FFRF and Federal courts it would go completely unchecked.
 
Now go look at all those threads on this singular event and note how many times they bring up the Obama song and all their other tired arguments. The examples are NOT all of the cases of which I am aware.
