Science curriculum called fascist and atheistic
|
I love how they're crying persecution. Oh, the drama!
One wonders what would happen to an American Christian if they actually face true persecution.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
Let's rent some lions and find out.
PETA would freak over those poor lions eating unhealthy human flesh.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
The comments section is a good laugh, too.
Poor Kids in Kentucky 
What I really don't understand is that evolution is already being taught in Kentucky schools. Per the article evolution has been taught since the last revision of academic standards passed in 2006. What is being proposed is just an update with the latest research. So what is the big deal?
Same with the climate change. They currently teach weather and ecology, just not the link of human behavior contributing to global climate change. People are crazy and want everyone to join them. 
It seems each state in the USA has a bit too much power to do stupid things to the future generations... And a bit too many stupid people running them.
I think there are somethings that you should try to enforce country-wide... what is it? federal jurisdiction or whatnot.... and education policy should be one such thing. How can a kid raised in that state ever reach the same level as another raised in... I don't know... California? 
It's fascist . . . it's socialist . . . blah, blah, blah. Cry me a river! I don't know how it is with Bible thumpers in other countries, but American Baptists and Evangelicals have to be among the biggest pussies, with the most unearned persecution complex, of any group in the world. That the very people who are indoctrinated (and wish to indoctrinate others) into an ancient, irrational cult whine about state-sponsored indoctrination -- or, as it's known in the civilized world, science education -- is disgusting in the extreme. Sadly, it's all too common, and there doesn't seem to be an end to it.
People like this are the best argument available for Kentucky revamping its science curriculum to give those poor kids a fighting chance. How any parent could want anything less than the best when it comes to their children's education eludes me. Fucking cretins.

I love how these shitskids are the same ones who use tools created through scientific processes to call science fascist. Cherry picking and double standards, how quaint. Wait, no, that's not the word I use to normally associate people who do those things. Retarded. There, that's the word.

Evolution has been taught in Kentucky at least since the 1960s when I was in elementary school, and probably longer. In fact, I never once heard an objection to it until I attended college at Eastern Kentucky University in the md-1970s. And that was one person who was a Baptist who mysteriously took a human evolution class in the anthropology department, and freaked out in class when she suddenly "realized' what the class was about (with that course title, how could she not know? duh). It would not surprise me a bit if this new anti-evolution and anti-global warming push is being promoted by the Creation Museum (and others).

-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens "I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations". - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) "In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
