Did I miss something? Who said that, where and when? To make that statement, takes some serious stones. On the other hand, Mrs. O'Rights and I take our two year old to McDonald's every couple of weeks. I can't remember the last time that the cashier could make change without the assistance of the cash register telling how much to give back. No joke. I think that it's not so much that they
can't be taught...so much as it's they're
not being taught. But, enough of that little threadjack.
I see it as nothing less than a covert way to establish the teaching of creationism, in the public schools, while carefully skirting any mention of God.
"What? We didn't
say that
God was the creator...now
did we?"
Don't get me wrong. Even though I
am an athiest, I have no problem with people believing, expressing, and even teaching creationism. In, of course, the proper venue. Sorry, Spud, science class, in a
public school ain't it.
