As an another student, I'd like to assure you all that some teachers I've dealt with have not questioned anything since 1981. 
This is unbelievable. If I was being generous, I'd say xianity has a clever plan to try and sabotage education to make people more gullible and easier to manipulate. But I doubt that much thought went into this proposition.
If they want to "question" evolution they can do it on their own time and submit their bullshit for scientific evaluation. I mean, teaching students to generally question everything is good, but that's clearly not the implication here. Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.

Who knew science was so offensive?

Did you know that the continent contains nearly half of all remaining arable land not currently under production - on earth. Also has enough water to use it...if you have a penchant for irrigation. I rarely get the opportunity to mention that sort of stuff...lol, I know it wasn't meant to be answered..but I had to.lol That's right folks, to escape climatapocalypse and starvation...we'll have to migrate to Africa? 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
South Dakota? Stupid? I'll tell you how stupid they are. After wandering in the political wilderness for years, they finally got themselves a Senate majority leader -- and couldn't vote him out of office fast enough. Who did they vote in? John Thune, a man who can lower the IQ in a room just by opening his mouth. Of course, Thune was just the sort of guy the rural, conservative shit-kickers (soon to be known as Teabaggers) were hoping for.
My dad lives in SD, and I can raise his blood pressure at will simply by getting him started on SD politics. |
