What the poor children in Louisiana are learning-

Some of the things are your run of the mill christard bullshit. That's terrible on it's own, but most of this shit is mind-blowing. This really makes me sad for America.

Meanwhile, in Nashville, TN:

aleialoura's kids are going to the only STEM Magnet elementary school in the county. This was the newsletter I got from their folders today, it literally made me weep. Tears of joy, of course!



There is hope, ladies and gentlemen. Perhaps.

No wonder our European friends think we are out of our fucking minds.

My goodness, Alei, how can you tolerate your children being exposed to such heresies?

With GLEE, mostly.

Our state and federal governments subside a large slice of the costs of similar sorts of "Christian" (read Evangelical) schools were in Australia. Some in Australia would like to see a voucher system like that introduced here. All in the name of increasing "school choice" for parents and smashing the power of the teacher unions. Although even our Fundamentalist Christians aren't as insane as the American variety and that is saying something.

If such a voucher system was introduced, many more kids who currently don't go to those schools (because their parents cant afford to) would be exposed to that sort of "Christian" education. While I support school vouchers and "privatizing" the state school system, I do believe they still need some requirements on what these schools should be teaching children. As I see it Young Earth Creationism is like Geo-centrism and therefore should not be taught in science classes.

Yeah, they shouldn't be teaching bat shit crazy to anyone, just as a general rule.

Content areas? Seriously, content areas? I would love to encounter the asshat that equivocated the term 'subject' with 'content area'.

It sounds spiffier, apparently.

After reading that link which aleialoura kindly supplied, I wonder if these American "Christian Conservatives" have closely read their bible.

I am wondering, because I have done this and came under the impression that capitalism was a evil system, because it considers a certain level of greed as a good thing. Also that Jesus and the other "Apostles" preached a form of socialism or even communism (at least for Christian community).
