Okay, kids, this year we're going to teach you something that we pretty much know is an outright lie and completely false and fraudulant science,.

Sounds like you went to one of those brainwashing schools...

[flamesbball84]

All I want to know is what other things they are leaving out of these books....

Probably every single thing that doesn't fit into the teachings of the Bible, which would be close to half of what I learned in HS.

Here's where I'm coming from. Suppose instead of Christianity, this was a Scientology school, and instead of creationism they taught that the origins of life involved an evil Lord named Xenu. Would we say that the Scientologist child got a good education and should be greeted with open arms at institutions of higher learning? I should hope not.

Religions aside, as I don't support religious brainwashing in school (eg adam42381), as long as they are taught the other important things, such as important historical and scientific facts and theories that don't fit into their religion then it's fine with me. i won't agree with their "religious teachings" because scientology is nothing more than a scam, but as long as they aren't keeping their students ignorant by not touching on important topics then it would get a passing grade.

At a Christian school, I think you need to teach both. People need to know the viewpoints of others.

I really enjoyed the movie Expelled, and I actually enjoyed reading Philip Johnson's "Darwin on Trial". But you have to learn what society is currently thinking, even if it's wrong.

When I was at Liberty, I was tutoring some girl that was having problems in her philosophy class. And when she had to learn something that she didn't agree with...she would just say, "I reject that".

But I was like, "OK...you can reject that...but you still have to know about it".

I reject fully naturalistic evolution as untrue...but I still watch the Discovery channel...although not right now b/c I dropped it from my package to save money.

Nope, sorry, public school K through 12. Had a Biology teacher the year we were actually covering evolution in high school who, when asked if she believed in God, said "Honestly, I believe that DNA is god". She also sincerely believed that she had real ghosts in her house, so go and figure out how those two beliefs work together.

LOL, that woman sounds like she shouldn't have been in a retirement home since she is clearly senile.

Sounds to me like California shouldn't accept credits from alumnus' high school. Sorry. You'll have to take classes at a ghost-free California community college first.

here's the problem i have with the "theory" of evolution. In classrooms, it may (it was to me at least in high school back in the early 90's) be taught as a theory. Herein lays the problem. Everything else they teach in science is put in place by its cornerstone, the "theory of evolution". if you take and make that theory fail, then the rest of their house of cards fall too. That is the problem with what I am finding in science curriculum of today. My wife teaches at a small christian school here in PA, and all of the non-christian science curriculum has this type of slant. She hates having to go to Abeka or BJ's stuff.
