Creationism and the US Education System

[Nine]

She apparently made it clear that it was her personal religious view and was in RS not science...my son got in trouble for taking the piss.

Well played to your son. Why was she talking about her personal religious views anyway? Surely thats the ideal time for your son to express his personal view that its worthy of having the piss taken out of it. XD

I swear this creationist BS seems to be spreading.

Just found out my sons religious studies teacher is a young earth creationist and told him "evolution can't be true because 6000 years isn't enough time for evolution to happen" this is a teacher in England...I feel ashamed.

Sort of relieved to see that the only batshit crazy fucks aren't over here.

Good luck with the asshole, though. Time to contact the principal or whatever you call the top dog in your schools and file a complaint.

I think no two bit organization that presents creationism as anything but a very old and stale joke could ever be called an "education" system. So large parts of the US has no public secondary educaton system.

I think you said you were 13. If you learn nothing else here you should learn that there are no simple solutions to complex problems.

It's only the bible thumpers who think that quoting a bible verse is an acceptable answer to almost any question.

Actually... there's always a very simple solution. It's just... most people don't like the idea of it, or it's philosophically retarded, or it requires one be a sociopath to actually be done

Exterminate them all.*

An old saying here in the south is, "Ain't that just a shame.".
