Louisiana ( No Surprise)
http://news.yahoo.com/aclu-alleges-comic...42881.html

Quote:For example, explains ArkLaTexhomepage.com, the suit claims that science teacher Rita Roark routinely includes fill-in-the-blank questions on her tests such as “ISN’T IT AMAZING WHAT THE _____________ HAS MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The ACLU claims that the credited answer for the question is the word “LORD.” When the Buddhist student didn’t input that answer, Roark allegedly made fun of him in front of the entire class.

The suit says Roark also called Buddhism “stupid” in a comparative religions segment.

In addition, the suit asserts, Roark told students that the Bible is completely factual, that God created the earth about 6,000 years ago and that evolution is not possible.

No wonder these kids come out of school stupider than when they went in!

Maybe we need some French revolution style de-Christianization. (Just thinking aloud.)

Yep shit like this is what scares me about sending my kid to school. Ignorant people preaching to children who don't know any better.

No, she's not a science teacher. Anyone who says the bible is totally factual, and evolution is impossible, doesn't know thing one about science.

If I saw this in my science class, you can bet I'd be having a talk with the teacher or principle. And I was a christian in school. It's a science class. Not a church. Also that sentence should end with one question mark, as it is a question.

That's probably what I'd start with. Ok first, this sentence should end with a question mark because it's a question. Second, this is a science class, not a church.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Apparently. I live in Alabama, and this kind of stuff didn't happen in the schools I went to. Granted there was the pledge of allegiance, but once we were in the classroom, there was nothing like this. We learned things like where rain comes from, and why my ice tea keeps getting wet outside the glass on a hot day. Actual science.

I mean the bible is a book that says the moon is a source of light, and if you show striped objects to an animal, the animal will bear striped young. If that was possible, most livestock would be green.

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
