Loch Ness Monster used to debunk evolution in state-funded school
"It sounds like a hoax, but it's apparently true: The Loch Ness Monster is on the science class syllabus for kids at Eternity Christian Academy in Westlake, Louisiana. As reported by the Herald Scotland (which must track all Loch Ness-related news), a school that will receive tax-payer dollars, will teach kids that the mythological sea creature is real in order to debunk the theory of evolution. So pay attention: That will be on the test. Eternity Christian Academy uses the fundamentalist A.C.E. Curriculum to teach students "to see life from God's point of view." According to the Herald, one textbook, Biology 1099, reads, "Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the 'Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? 'Nessie' for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur." Starting in the fall, thousands of schoolchildren will receive publicly funded vouchers to attend private schools, some of which are religious. Religious schools in Louisiana will receive public funding as part of a push from Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal, to move millions of tax dollars to cover tuition for private schools, including small bible-based church schools. Money will fund schools that have "bible-based math books" and biology texts that refute evolution."
With this type of education, those poor students will be lost in the world of facts and science. They'll end up like... well... like Cicero

lol...yeah, they might question the scientific facts behind 'global cooling' oh wait, I mean 'global warming' no, no, wait, it's 'climate change'...Yeah that's it, the facts of science.
How does that phrase go? If you believe in nothing - YOU'LL BELIEVE ANYTHING.

And these poor kids will lean IN SCIENCE CLASS all about Noah's Ark, Jonah living in a whales belly, and the Loc Ness Monster... all taxpayer funded.
Amazing!

I agree, get the taxpayer out of it. Some schools force district taxpayers to pay the Democrat Party fund raising organization Planned Parenthood to teach 'outer course'. What's next, teaching the science of unhooking the bra with one hand?

Arguing with a creationist is like telling a child about Santa Claus. They don't believe you, and they hate you for it.
I agree! Same goes with arguing with authoritarians. They hate the suggestion of leaving people alone. They need people to be taught to believe in the state approved Santa Claus'.
the bible should be allowed to be read in schools along with the torah and others.....or how about music lyrics?
who cares if the bible is read in school...if the schools weren't so hell bent on teaching how one is be sociologically and stuck with teaching kids to learn to teach themselves this conversation wouldn't even be happening...
they cant prove god they cant prove evolution
NEWBORN JOINS THIS EARTH AND QUICKLY HE'S SUBDUED
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

They can't prove evolution??? The PROOF of evolution is the same PROOF of many every day occurrences that we take as TRUTH. You can't causatively PROVE that smoking causes lung cancer, but you can PROVE it statistically. The issue of evolution isn't an issue of PROOF... it's an issue of religion vs science. For most people, rational thought takes precedence over the magic, miracles, demons & superstition of religion. Some however can't face the day with out a reassurance of a GOD looking over them... for those people, reality is just to real... they'll stick with the magic, miracles, demons & superstition of religion.

Not so long as the compulsory schooling system can take their children and sit them through the approved curriculum which includes the teaching of Darwinism. It may take time, but the statist will instill the state approved values into those God fearing people. If they can't, they'll die trying. They will not quit the crusade to convert those non-believers to the civil religion of the state.
