Louisiana tax dollars now go to teach that the Earth was made in 6 day! PROGRESS!

[Caroljo]

You can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Earth is billions of years old. It's been proven.

Maybe God made the earth billions of years ago....but didn't make man until much later.

The Bible doesn't say how long it was between making Earth and making man...there could be YEARS missing there.

Actually it does. Day 3 is Earth. Day 6 is Man.

But how many "possible" years are there between one day and the next? It could have taken, in our time, 6 billions years between the 1st day and the 6th.

According to the Bible, one day equals one day.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Well which theory can you prove?

The Earth was created in 6 days

Or

Big Bang

Hint: You can't prove either one.

The 6 day Creation theory doesn't explain observed phenomena such as the expanding Universe and the the cosmic microwave background, the inflationary big bang model does. So its pretty clear which of the two theories is the most useful for predicting observation in the real world.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

What's it to you anyway?

Oh, you're a typical liberal busybody telling everyone else how to live... here's an idea... why don't you tend to your affairs and leave the rest of us alone. Personally, I don't give a shit what these people do with their voiuchers. If they choose to send their kids to a Christian school then that's none of my business, or yours for that matter.

I'm sure if they sent their kids to the Karl Marx Academy where it was taught that capitalism and religion are for retards, you'd be all in.

Yeah, who cares if our state is populated by poorly educated morons? Won't affect me! Its not like they are going to be the ones writing our laws! Its not like employers demand an educated workforce in the 21st century and might leave our state when the only people they have to hire are complete idiots! On a larger scheme, who even gives a shit if the nation as a whole is educated? Its elitists to care about that! its not like that would affect the economy, national security, or general quality of life one bit! One only need to cite the numerous advanced nations of the world where most of the people are illiterate morons!

Who gives a shit about education? All that matters is
GEAUUUUUUUUXXXX TIGERS!!!!!!

Spare me.... the whole reason we're in this mess is because of the failure of the public education system.

What's it to you anyway?

Who died and left you in charge?

Your mama.

Like I said, outside of educating kids on the basics like math,etc., what business is it of yours if a parent is ok with their child being taught creationism?

Did you read the article? Sorry but BIBLE BASED MATH probably isn't what most people would consider a basic math education. Do YOU measure length in cubits? I don't! Neither do modern engineers.

You need to mind your own damn business and quit sticking your nose into other peoples' lives. I've seen what you libs consider educated, we're not impressed.

If you want to raise your kids to be morons I can't stop you but I certainly don't want you using MY tax dollars to do it.

He's smart... he knows everything.

I detect a hint of an inferiority complex. Its a common affliction of New Orleanians.

You should tell all right wingers that part about when personal decisions are made, they are none of your business or my business. May not like the decision.

Why would you not care about the quality of the education. That's just fuking stupid to think kids should be taught that the world was made in 6 days. And to encourage that teaching is worse.

I do not want my Federal tax dollars going to waste on a voucher that will have a kid being taught those Biblical stories. ESPECIALLY when the other math and science is not being presented.

Kind of old fashioned that way. Wanting kids to be taught REAL math and science.

First off, it isn't your federal tax dollars. Secondly, your beloved public education system is a fucking failure. Thirdly, they teach REAL math.. what do you think, they are teaching that 4+5 = Jesus?

Sorry, but DID YOU READ THE ARTICLE?

From THE ARTICLE:

Other schools approved for state-funded vouchers use social studies texts warning that liberals threaten global prosperity; Bible-based math books that don't cover modern concepts such as set theory; and biology texts built around refuting evolution.

Evolution is only a tiny fraction of science...

Its only the very foundation upon which modern biology is based. You clearly got fucked in your own education.

I'm quite certain the periodic table isn't any different in a Christian school than a public school.

Sorry, but is the periodic table in the Bible? If its not in the Bible I doubt it will be taught at Eternity Christian.

Sounds like you just don't want anything being taught that you don't approve of.

I'm more afraid of what they aren't going to teach than what they are.

We are only allowed to teach what the libs say. Anything other than that is obviously a farce and should be treated as a disease.

Link?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Awesome. So my tax dollars will now pay for children to be taught that the Earth was made in 6 days. They won't be "exposed" to the theory of evolution, because it might 'confuse' them. This is quite a step forward! F^&K YOU VERY MUCH BOBBY JINDAL!


.

Nothing you leftists hate more than choice.

Yeah that's why we want government to tell women what to do with their own wombs.

Standard Disclaimer: Evolution is fact, but parents teaching kids god made the world is no more stupid or false than teaching them that soda pop is making the ice caps melt.

I don't want MY TAX DOLLARS being spent to MISEDUCATE children on the theory of origins. What this has to do with what parents teach their kids on their own fucking dime - I dunno - maybe you can explain that?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Libs love choices... the choices they give you.

So you're pro-choice now? awesome!

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

It amazes me every day how "conservatives" don't give two shits about kids.

What on Earth are you babbling bout now? If you had your way all kids would be stuck in shitty public schools putting condoms on cucumbers and reading "Jane has Two Mothers" all day long... that's gonna really prepare them for the big leagues!

I've never seen Don'tBeStupid say that. Can you give us a link?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Prove beyond a shadow of a doubt--of course neither one.

Which seems more reflective of the actual reality?
The Big Bang Theory.

Who cares?

In a free country, parents have the right to decide what the curriculum of their child meets their goals.

It's called "choice."

Leftists are anti-choice - being pro-abortion doesn't change this fact.

I'm sorry, but what about a free country gives parents the right to spend MY MONEY on whatever education they choose?


Its funny how the right opposes their money being used to buy health care for children but support their money being used to teach children the Earth is 6000 years old, isn't it?

If I had my way, schools would be fully funded and be staffed with the best teachers money could buy to educate our kids and prepare them for an economy that was overflowing with jobs.

But hey, that's just me.

There's certainly a way to fix it that doesn't involve dumping kids in cubicles with Bible study guides all day.

Both of my kids went to Episcopal schools.. I PROMISE you they were far better prepared than most public school kids. They were both taught creationism, but I doubt either one believes that magically two people appeared with fig leaves covering their junk....

They were taught? Lucky them.

The school willing to accept the most voucher students -- 314 -- is New Living Word in Ruston, which has a top-ranked basketball team but no library. Students spend most of the day watching TVs in bare-bones classrooms. Each lesson consists of an instructional DVD that intersperses Biblical verses with subjects such chemistry or composition.

At Eternity Christian Academy in Westlake, pastor-turned-principal Marie Carrier hopes to secure extra space to enroll 135 voucher students, though she now has room for just a few dozen. Her first- through eighth-grade students sit in cubicles for much of the day and move at their own pace through Christian workbooks, such as a beginning science text that explains "what God made" on each of the six days of creation. They are not exposed to the theory of evolution.

"We try to stay away from all those things that might confuse our children," Carrier said.

Other schools approved for state-funded vouchers use social studies texts warning that liberals threaten global prosperity; Bible-based math books that don't cover modern concepts such as set theory; and biology texts built around refuting evolution.

Oh fuck off....

Kids should be taught both evolution and creationism....

Another dildo righty who didn't read the damn article.
And at Eternity Christian they are taught ONLY Creationism you moron.

 

[Toro]

What is "Bible-based math?"

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

If they paid any significant amount of tax they'd be able to afford to send their kids to private school without a voucher or they'd already live in a decent school district.

How do you know? Even most middle class people can't afford to send their kids to private school.

If you can't afford the $3500 or so year Eternity Christian charges (with all the tax breaks associated with it) you probably aren't making enough to pay much in taxes.

Its funny how the right loves to portray the poor as non-taxpaying leaches - until they get taxpayer funded vouchers to send their kids to Bible school.

Funny how the socialists profess to give a shit about the poor, but then fight tooth and nail every effort to get them out of the failed public school system.

Unless you live in Louisiana this is none of your business so stick it up your ass.

From a failed public school system to a school that doesn't even teach science? Sorry, but how is that "better"? We've taken them off a ship that's sinking and put them onto a ship that's on fire, brilliant fucking plan.

Republicans have pointed out to me again and again that I lie when I say they want to teach "mystical creation" in public schools as fact. And the even Liberty University has "mystical creation" courses available in it's science curriculum. For some reason Republicans believe they are the masters of scientific understanding. I say "6%".
