Some news for y'all.... Louisiana Coalition for Science For Immediate Release: Creationists Continue to Dictate BESE Science Education Policy Baton Rouge, LA, September 28, 2009 — On September 16, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) ignored the recommendations of science education professionals in the Louisiana Department of Education (DOE) and allowed the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF), a Religious Right lobbying group, to dictate the procedure concerning complaints about creationist supplementary materials used in public school science classes under the 2008 Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA).

dir="ltr"> they told me if I voted for John McCain that I would get a President like Bush that would violate the airspace and sovereignty of an allied nation with a military force to assassinate a foreign national of another allied country and then their dead body would be dumped in the ocean. and they were right.

Creationism should be taken out of the classroom it serves no purpose but to brainwash and confuse.

Creationism isn't allowed in the science classroom to begin with. If it's found there, contact NCSE. |

if those people want to go back to the dark ages the government should step in and step on them just as they would any other criminal organisation because what it teaches is criminal, creationism does nothing but harm to everyone it touches and is detrimental to the country, freedom comes with responsibilities. |

It's as if none of these knuckleheads in Louisiana had ever heard of Edwards v. Aguillard

I was making a generalization that Creationism and ID should not be taught in schools full stop.
Some faith schools in the UK teach creationism (albeit not as science) and those that do this have tried to recomend that mainstream schools also teach it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...ffset=0&page=1
This article is a few years old, but it goes to show that it isn't just USA that is affected.

"Many Christians believe..."
"Creationists think that..."
"The Bible tells Christians that..."
etc.
It should never be taught as fact, in schools, simply because it isn't. | | |
