Re: Someone asked which country is now the biggest threat to the U.S.
It's quite a stretch to blame the sorry state of American education on creationism. Almost superstitious. A happened then B happened, therefore A caused B.
Haven't liberals and evolutionists been in control of education at all levels for several generations? Who's been writing the textbooks? Just how interested is the NEA in real education? I especially like the post that brings Nazis into it. Were you taught that method of argument in high school or is it now part of the Ph.D. program at Harvard? I'm not really concerned about whether or not creationism or evolution is mentioned in the classroom. I just think it's absurd to think our educational system is bankrupt because of anything like what's happening in Kansas.

To start altering the definition of science so that they can attempt to get their religion taught in schools is absurd.

I would yank my kid out of any school that started spewing the [censored] that is creationism to him. What bothers me more is the obvious attempt to ram religion down the throats of our kids. The church does not belong in public school, nor does the idiocy that is Intelligent Design.

It's all there. See for yourselves.
