This community is in a somewhat rural/used to be rural area. Not likely that there will be a great deal of support for this.
The Atlanta ABC affiliate said Bob Staples, a member of the church, called Darwins theory bad science and said its bad for the culture.
To teach it as a fact, said Staples, is lying to people.
Its curious that Staples, who is a college math teacher and also a member of the state committee working on the new science standards, is worried about lying to people. He said he believes in a literal view of the Bible, but doesnt expect public schools to teach creationism.
So what would Staples teach? If evolution is a no go and so is creationism, what does that leave? It sounds like Staples would rather give kids extra recess time than good science classes.
Staples hasnt offered an alternative. All he knows is that teaching evolution is contributing to the decline of civilization.
The crime rate, child abuse, divorce. All of these things rose from a period following the implementation of teaching Darwinian theory [in the 1960s], Staples said.
Its safe to say that crime, child abuse and divorce all pre-date the 1960s and have absolutely no link to the missing link.

the desire of some to teach one wrong idea in schools doesn't give license for others to teach their wrong ideas in schools. AGW is at best a contested theory. It's not a fact. Teaching one side of a contested theory and not the other is indoctrination.
You know..............it's the beginning of March, and the trees here in Amarillo started to bud around the last week of Feb this year.
Combine that with the droughts that we've been having, as well as the record high temps that we've set over the summers, yeah............global warming is here.

It certainly seems that weather patterns are different.
A person I know with 'several' advanced degrees believes that global warming is 'real', fwiw.
Extreme weather of last decade part of larger pattern linked to global warming
A person you know...Well, that settles it. I'm convinced.A person I know with 'several' advanced degrees believes that global warming is 'real', fwiw.
lol--there's more to the story.
There have been some toxic debates on the topic of global warming I finally started asking 'privately' and he said that is what he believes. Not the sort to believe 'anything'.
And at some point you may realise that there are now only 7 people on earth who believe this.
The world has moved on BriPat. You don't need to move on with it, but you do need to realise that you are stuck arguing the benefits of the steam engine.
The fact is no one cares about the global warming con any more. In survey after survey, concern about global warming is at the bottom of the list. The game is over. You're pissing in the wind.
Yea, nobody cares anymore because they know that we will never do anything about it. We're just going to have to live with the consequences.
What the AGW cultists believe isn't science. It's a con. No one "needs" it do be false, just as no one needs the earth centric view of the solar system to be false.

He might want his children to fall behind the rest of the world, but I do not want that to be my children's fate.
It is the obligation of our k-12 educational system to present the best possible science we know.
It is NOT the obligation of k-12 education to present every opposing fringe scientific theory.
If those opposing theories became the mainstream scientific consensus, THEN they ought to be what is taught.
I have a wide variety of theories about US history that are NOT part of the commonly perceived views about history.
When I teach history I do NOT impose my radical theories about history on the kids.
When those kids are old enough (say in college) THAT IS THE PLACE where such contrarian POVs ought to be offered.

Have you seen the movie Idiocracy? Unfortunately, these are the type of people who are breeding the most.
Well our kids are taught more than enough stuff that's either untrue, useless or both so one more things can't hurt
So little of what schools teach now is actually factual.
that's because the republicans have been writing the text books ... let a liberal do and you'll get it right ...
And so the nations youth are taught bullshit, causing the US to further slide in science.
that's the problem with republicans they can't distinguish bullshit from reality ... the never could...

Yeah, when a liberal gets involed a girl can come to school and decides she is a boy, or a boy can come to school and choose to be a girl.

There are no consequences, and the consequences of following the prescription of the AGW cultists are far worse.

It's almost as if you're trying to be a troll. No one with half an ounce of common sense would say something like this with a straight face.
Another unproven claim by the left being taught as fact in our public schools. First evolution, now global warming.
What other explanations can be utilized to understand the changes in weather patterns over the past decade?
ie--Much warmer winters over the past 10 years in the SE and sweltering generally dry summers?
For many decades jonquils bloomed in the middle of March. Now they begin to bloom in February.
There has been some sort of change.

There is no "trying" to it. He is a troll. And a moron. And evidentally a global weather scientist. With a "contrarian" view. LMAO.
