"Slate reports on new anti-science education coming out of Texas. The state has a charter school system called Responsive Education Solutions, which is publicly funded. Unfortunately, 'it has been connected from its inception to the creationist movement and to far-right fundamentalists who seek to undermine the separation of church and state.' The biology workbook used in these schools actually reads, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." It also brings up social Darwinism as if it's an aspect of evolutionary theory and introduces doubt that the Earth is billions of years old. The article continues, 'To get around court rulings, Responsive Ed and other creationists resort to rhetoric about teaching "all sides" of "competing theories" and claiming that this approach promotes "critical thinking." In response to a question about whether Responsive Ed teaches creationism, its vice president of academic affairs, Rosalinda Gonzalez, told me that the curriculum "teaches evolution, noting, but not exploring, the existence of competing theories."' Other so-called education texts being used by the Responsive Ed program teach Western superiority and how feminism forced women to 'turn to the state as a surrogate husband.'"

"promotes critical thinking"
I was on board with the author until he revealed himself a Loch Ness denier.
This has always been the most terrifying aspect of the right wing control over the TBOE, and I have always felt that the taxpayer support of vouchers and religiously-based charter schools. Do parents know what the message in these charter schools is?
My gut feel is yes, they do.
^i just died a little inside
This will perk you back up. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendl...s-closed-down/
I shoulda guessed that school was funded by Ken Ham
choice D is evolution. basically teaching them that its ALWAYS the wrong answer
average size of dinosaur was a sheep... i can't
I also like the sharp teeth question. God obviously gave the T-Rex sharp teeth so it could eat spinach
OMFG, I had no idea that was a real test given in jeebo schools.
nobody believe that that school is the only one indoctrinating small kids with BiblicalOMFG, I had no idea that was a real test given in jeebo schools.
You are just now telling us?
Creation doesn't always mean the BIBLE there is AD Alternative Design.

Who cares about the creation of the Earth? I mean is this gonna help you get a nice job or a car or house? If not, who gives a ? Americans freak out over stupid and don't give a about that is actually important.
People living on the Earth?
Ask someone with a nice job or a car or houseI mean is this gonna help you get a nice job or a car or house?
If not, who gives a ?
People with kids in school.
Then put your views in a textbook.Americans freak out over stupid and don't give a about that is actually important.
Again, will this help you get a good job? A yes or a no will suffice. Do parents really care what their little pecker kids are being taught in school? I mean let's be honest for a minute, do they really care or is it selective? Do parents give a that their kids are being taught to take standardized state tests which basically only benefit the staff financially ie bonuses? Do parents care that their kids aren't being taught actual skills that will help them in life such as filling out job applications, making a resume, signing up for a checking account, and how to interview for a job? Thank you, I rest my case your honor.
funny how Social Darwinism is the only kind of Darwinism creationists take to heart
Imagine if the poor didn't deserve to be poor... minds blown
as usual, reason merely tidies the house after firm conclusions have been drawn
The problem with your question is you are trying to keep it real, more real that the question of creativity verses evolution. We live in a world where the nice to know is paramount and the need to know can't be found because it is absent in the curriculum.
Realists base their views on what they see. idealists base their views on what they think. A visionary is an idealist who keeps it real. Unfortunately, it is the simple minded idealists that rule the nest.
Are you completely daft?
Standardized tests are huge money for Testing Companies, not staff...
When people get things like the above so dead wrong you wonder if they were just educated to fill out an application, write a resume...
Its YOUR tax money Einstein, you might want to be able to do a little research and critical thinking.
If you do have a good job, it's a testament to the opportunity this country has given to the re ed.
God Bless America, I think...
