Christian groups filed a pair of lawsuits in Federal District Court challenging the Kansas state Board of Education’s decision to implement a state-wide set of science standards. On June 11, the Kansas state Board of Education adopted a universal set of science standards to be taught in classrooms across the state from kindergarten to grade 12. Faith groups are up in arms that their beliefs are not being given more credence in science classes.

No wonder this country is going down the shitter.

They may be idiots, but I am betting that the lawsuit will not get them far.

Actualy, being mentioned in the news as an unimportant side story is as far as it got them and probably as far as they wanted to go.

Maybe not that far. Maybe they wanted to go for national press, but anyway it unquestionably is a Fail before it even started.

When they lose they will denounce "activist judges." You have to learn the whole routine that these scumbags trot out.

They've announced their stupidity by rejecting science.

But lol, the story is pretty funny, "the group maintains that questions like 'where do we come from?' can only be answered by religious dogma."

hahaha.

I can't think what they're up in arms about - they don't give science any credence in faith classes and never have. Fair play, I think.

Don't they understand that they can teach the "word of God" to children at church? After all, seperation of church and state was an important factor to our founding fathers. Leave religion where it belongs - at church. But it's just as important to man's evolution that he learns science, too - maybe more important.

That's because your religion isn't science, assholes. Even some of your saner brothers-in-Christ acknowledge that.

Besides, if fundies aren't up in arms, we're doing something wrong.

In a press release, CORE said that the science standards would “will have the effect of causing Kansas public schools to establish and endorse a non-theistic religious worldview,” which the group said is a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

In other words, they don't know what those amendments actually state.

I am utterly floored with this type of stupidity.

What you have is a bunch of fucking creatards insisting that non-religion is religion. This is what happens when people believe their own bullshit.

Dozens of gunmen attacked an agricultural college in northeastern Nigeria late Saturday and early Sunday, killing more than 40 students, local officials said. The attackers were thought to belong to the extremist group Boko Haram.

Boko Haram has singled out government institutions, especially schools, for attack. One of its tenets is that Western-style education, not based on the Koran, in conventional schools is sinful and un-Islamic; the group has burned numerous schools in Maiduguri, the largest city in the region, and in early July it attacked a government secondary school in the town of Mamudo, killing 42 people, mostly students.

This is why religious fuckwads have to be kept clear of schools.
