"Creationism" on the other hand isn't a "theory" at all. It's religion. If you are going to teach history according to the "Abrahamic" religions, why not what the Buddhist, Hindus, Sikhs as well? Their beliefs are just as valid. And by "just as valid", I mean not valid at all. Using tax money to teach religious nonsense violates the social pact we have established with the separation of church and state. |

So, Phil, you don't like religious teachings of any sort. Yes, we know this and you've repeated your stance over and over like a good little talking point repeater. i don't like the public corruption. I'd rather have the choice where to send my kid since, after all, it's my tax dollars being spent right (if I had a kid)? So, because you hate religion so much, we shouldn't have the right to spend our money where we believe our kids will get the best education based solely on the fact you don't agree with it. I don't agree with all the feel good bull shit programs being taught in public schools and their "everyone gets a trophy, fairness, blah blah lbah..." mentality.
Explain why you should get to make the choice for the tax payers and why they shouldn't have a choice. |

Public schools should discuss other religious beliefs too. The school's shouldn't teach evolution as fact, nor should they teach any of the religions as fact. Only as the currently accepted theories on the start of the universe. |

Doesn't matter. Phil doesn't want anybody to learn anything about religion, especially Christianity (and I'm guessing it has something to do with his Catholic back ground). Hey, if Harry Reid can make assumptions, so can I. it's the liberal thing to embrace, right Phil?

I also went to Catholic school. Something everybody needs to understand is that Catholic school is where they train Atheists.

Face it. Everyone has a beleif system that, at some point, cannot be supported by logic alone. The difference with the new system in Louisiana is that parents who are not advantaged enough to afford private school can now choose what their children are exposed to. Those that care probably talk to them afterwards to find out what their kids "learned" that day and discuss the value of opposing viewpoints. Those that are breeding for tickets on the welfare train couldn't care less, and it sounds like portions of the public school system in Louisiana are well prepared to teach their kids what they need to know to accomplish another generational cycle. |

Accepted by University research department heads that depend on government grants, who will lose those grants (and their cushie jobs) if they ever publicly admit that the big bang theory and evolution have huge unexplainable issues that intelligent design doesn't have.

Who are you to decide what parents can teach their kids, anyway? And as for your bullshit example about whether my personal beleif about the timing of dinosaurs vs humans on the planet might make me less competitive in the marketplace, you might be amazed to find out that THE SUBJECT NEVER CAME UP! Nor, I suspect, has it in any environment outside of a religious institution or an Internet forum. I went to Furman for undergraduate school after coming out of the Knox County school system. Southern Baptist college, public schools. The religious background of the school hurt me not a whit. UT College of Medicine only cared how I could deal with what is known now, not how we got here. By contrast, the beneficiaries of the liberal agenda (in this cae the preferential extension of benefits to a select group because they are members of a select group) did not fare so well there. The best (amongst many) that I witnessed was one classmate telling another "the test is biased against you." Six months later the speaker filed a discrimination complaint with the school because they flunked the OB/GYN rotation, despite the fact that they NEVER SHOWED UP TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM! Yeah, overall if the things you are taught by your parents interfere with your ability to be productive, at least you were taught instead of dispatched. And by the way, any time you want to match the graduate quality of a private school system vs public in the same district, bring it on. |

It is absolutely amazing to see someone dismiss religion based on it "not being supported by fact" and at the same time subscribe whole-hartedly and without question to what he is told to believe by his liberal "gods"... despite the fact that almost every bit of empirical data in existence as well as countless historical examples show those beliefs to be completely wrong.
