1. To be fair, they imposed it on you when you were too young and innocent to know better.....
Mandated government schooling is no longer meant to do what was once its mission.
Earlier American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike, agreed on two basic goals: teach the newcomers English and make them Americans. The clear aim was to strengthen our national identity--to reinforce the unum in e pluribus unum--by assimilating the new arrivals into American civilization. http://www.aei.org/article/society-and-culture/anti-americanization/
Today, government school has a very different mission......but is highly successful at it: it turns out Leftists.
2. Today's birthday boy is fine example of what that mission is.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, (born August 1, 1744, Bazentin-le-Petit, Picardy, France—died December 18, 1829, Paris), pioneering French biologist who is best known for his idea that acquired characters are inheritable, an idea known as Lamarckism, which is controverted by modern genetics and evolutionary theory.

You learned that giraffes had long necks because generations extended them to reach higher food sources.
Bogus.
3. If you understand modern science, you know that acquired characteristics are not passed on.....
Weismann, before 1900, proved that use and disuse was false: “In the experiment, Weismann cut off the tails of 901 mice and their offspring for five generations. If acquired characteristics were heritable, Weismann reasoned, the experimental mice should eventually produce offspring with no tails.”

They had the same length tails as the original mice.
4. And yet, Darwin relied on the use and disuse as the mechanism for his false theory of evolution....
“Darwin’s view of heredity was quite different. He believed that every cell in an organism produces “gemmules” that transmit characteristics to the next generation in a blending process he called “pangenesis.” The advantage of Darwin’s view was that gemmules could be changed by external conditions, or by use and disuse, and thus account for evolutionary change. The disadvantage of Dar- win’s view was that it was false.” Charles Darwin, The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication ,Chapter XXVII. Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species, Sixth Edition, ChapterV. See also Chapters I and VI. Bowler, Evolution: The History of an Idea, 171, 190,
210, 250–52. (comment by Jonathan Wells)
Darwin said “every cell in an organism produces “gemmules” that transmit characteristics to the next generation …. gemmules could be changed by external conditions, or by use and disuse, and thus account for evolutionary change.”
5.Yet, true to their mission, government school imposes Darwinian evolution on untrained minds as though it was a proven fact.
You should ask yourself why.
