WHich is why they keep bringing in a guy named Pradip to do them.
Now, yeah, there are a lot of problems in the Public schools... It's a place where the unions have gone too far in some ways.
But the very fact that you have the state of Texas out there telling textbook publishers to not talk about Darwin does put our kids behind. Darwin's theories in the Origins of Species have never been proven, so teachng them as facts is deceptive to say the least.
That kid in INdia or Japan or Europe is learning hard science and our kids are learning fairy tales from the Bronze Age. Learning evolution vs intelligent design will in no way effect a person's abiltiy to get a technical job. Last I checked the ONLY techinical jobs needing a good knowledge of evoltion would be jobs associated with evolutution, and those are few and far between. besides to learn higher mathamatecs, computer skills, electronics, information technology, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc ad nasuem, you do not need evolution as a prerequiste because it is irelevent to EVERY one of those subjects, making your arguments on learing evolution vs intelligent design nonsensical and irelevent. Thanks for playing, but your agenda doesn't fit here. Carry on though, by your words you will be condemned.
Guy, if you think that preventing kids from learning critical thinking is going to help them get jobs, you are a little dense.
Honestly, guy, I've never met a young earth creationist in an engineering job, or a technical job of any sort. They just aren't all that bright.
Now, I do think that we should teach creationism in the schools, for the purpose of debunking it.
