Right Wing Creationist Home School Curriculum Highly Inaccurate And "Really Dumb"

The respect is lacking by the minority for the larger majority's viewpoint.

Believe creationism all you want but don't expect your bosses, employers, and peers to respect you as a professional.

Inaccurate.. considering a vast majority of the world believes in at least a higher power, if not God.. having a religion or a belief is not frowned upon... when being asked why the network went down, you reply 'God did it', THAT is when you will get frowned upon

Don't conflate the two. One can believe in God without believing in the right wing reactionary creationism being pushed in American home schools.

Having a belief in a Higher Power is admirable.
 
Not that this is to anyone's surprise,..

A popular curriculum used by home-schooled students has drawn criticism for inaccurate, misleading information and an over-reliance on rote memorization, but those aspects may not be the worst things about it.

A lot of the material that children are exposed to in the Accelerated Christian Education is just astonishingly stupid, according to a former Christian fundamentalist.

Blogger Jonny Scarmanga shared some of the multiple-choice questions he found in some ACE packets used by British home-school students Monday on the blog, Leaving Fundamentalism.

In one question aimed at 9- or 10-year-old fourth-graders, students are given this example: “Children played happily in the water spout.” They are then asked to define a water spout from three examples: “a stream of water,” “two dry ducks” or “playground.”

You are possibly the dumbest person I have ever encountered... seriously... dumber than a bag of broken doorknobs Jake.

The great majority of Christians do not believe in crazy so-called Christian creationism.

Creationist home school curriculum isn?t just inaccurate ? it?s really, really dumb | The Raw Story

What's the point of this article? To focus in on one or two poorly worded questions in some OBSCURE British home-schooling packet in a dishonest effort to make the entire lot of (a) Christians (b) people who homeschool their kids and (c) "right wingers" look like idiots?

This is what they call propaganda, as the only purpose is not to educate but rather to harm the reputation of a certain group or culture in a dishonest way (ie this one incident is evidence that THE JEWS! are responsible for all the woes of the country)..

Total crap. Don't you guys have anything better to do than to start arguments over quite literally nothing? Is that how you want to define your existence?

So many words can describe this; pathetic, sad, petty, misleading, pointless, etc, etc...

That is evasion on your part not defense.

Total crap, guys. You need to use your head.

The curriculum isn't British. It's headquartered in Tennessee. The same curriculum says the existence of the Loch Ness monster is fact, and disproves evolution. They state that solar fusion is a myth. Up until 1998 this passage appeared in their Social Studies curriculum.

Although apartheid appears to allow the unfair treatment of blacks, the system has worked well in South Africa .... Although white businessmen and developers are guilty of some unfair treatment of blacks, they turned South Africa into a modern industrialized nation, which the poor, uneducated blacks couldn't have accomplished in several more decades. If more blacks were suddenly given control of the nation, its economy and business, as Mandela wished, they could have destroyed what they have waited and worked so hard for.

Why in the world would I need to defend one obscure passage in a British homeschooling package? It's completely irrelevant and nitpicky.

Would it be fair to make you defend every poorly worded question administered at each public school in Britain too?

You attack it then the counter burden is on you. Your dismissal is not rebuttal just evasion.

How do you know this? Because some article (that's clearly biased, mind you) said it was true? How do you know it wasn't simply a part of a curriculum in an obscure British spinoff? How do you know that curriculum wasn't discontinued 20 years ago? You can't just take everything you read for fact unless there are good sources backing the assertions up.

Yes, and public schools seem to overlook the fact that Columbus's arrival resulted in the deaths of millions of native central Americans. They even celebrate his arrival. What's your point?

Accelerated Christian Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Accelerated Christian Education is an American educational products company which produces the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) school curriculum. The home office is in Nashville, Tennessee, with a customer service and distribution center in Lewisville, Texas. According to a study, by 1980 there were over 3,000 Christian Schools in the United States associated with ACE. A European representative states that the ACE program is “being used in thousands of schools and many thousands of home schools in over 100 different countries worldwide.” ACE currently serves over 7,000 schools, one government contract.

It lists its principles in a "statement of faith" which declares the belief that the Bible is literally true.
 
Here comes the attacks on homeschooling

the brainwashing can't be done to them if they're not FORCED into the little camps for leftist indoctrination called, schools

It is evident any schooling you had failed you. Homeschooled kids still must pass state guidelines in order to be legit.

You are a moron dont you work at a public school lunch lady.

Believe creationism all you want but don't expect your bosses, employers, and peers to respect you as a professional.

Anyone,such as yourself,that would look down on someone because of their faith is hardly a professional. Their opinion would be useless.
 
And Biblical literalism, the heart pin of evangelical and fundamentalist heresy, dooms the creationist-based home school program as out of touch with the world in which the home-schooled child must operate.

Once again, a deliberate misconstruction of my point.

One can be a Christian and teach evolution in a biology class.

One can be a creationist and should never be allowed to teach evolution in a biology class.
