The Attack on Scientific Truth in Public Schools
#30
RE: The Attack on Scientific Truth in Public Schools
Have I ever responded saying Creationism is correct? I said that I see no problem with it being explained as a theory. Children should be shown the evidence and have it compared to every theory available. Simply telling a child one thing is fact and all others are bullshit is not helping develop or mature the child.

My sister, for attending a private school and being taught supernatural explanations for existence, has placed two grade levels higher than any of the publicly schooled children in the district. The same is true for almost all of her classmates. This isn't to belittle anyone, simply to illustrate that supernatural teachings do nothing to hinder a child's learning.

Creationism comprises a very small part of science education, same with elementary evolution. I'd rather my child be taught scientific method and apply it to theories, as opposed to blatant "factual" information giving them a one-sided view of the world, regardless of how correct it may be. If you don't wish the same then simply vote against it. I explained my point of view, no need to attack me for it.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
