Teacher Demands Her Students Deny the Existence of God

[Conservative65]

Actually, if you look at the question, she did not "demand kids say god is not real". It was a good question and what it "demanded" is for the kid to THINK.

This is just another example of the right being against critical thinking.

"Think" the way the teacher and atheists want people to "think".

Student: Teacher taught 'God is not real'

So...you know exactly what the lesson plan and assignment was?

 

[TheOldSchool]

I think they should ban talk of all historic religions in schools. If kids find out there have been dozens of religions, with equally devout followers as today's religions; and that existed as long or longer than today's religions but are now dead... it could cause them to question their faith!!!

Since belief in God is a matter of faith, and cannot be proven or disproven, it is a poor subject for so-called "critical-thinking exercises". Also, since the teacher pushed what she considered to be the "correct" answer, she can be seen as nothing but a biased proponent, and guilty of not critically thinking herself.

Idiocracy.

How do we know that the teacher "pushed what she considered to be the 'correct' answer"?

Of course you do. The goal of all things Marxist since the beginning has been to replace God with the State.

The report that prompted the publicity, and the lack of denial from the teacher.

And where's the proof proving he is real? School suppose to be teaching facts and reality....

Yeah that's actually the topic at this weekend's Marxist club meeting

Okay.

Please post the fact indicating God does not exist.

Have fun! We'll wait.

Yeah Matthew and while you're at it post PROOF that Zeus, Vishnu, and Ra don't exist!

If it were a critical thinking essay, good.

The teacher should also have a critical thinking exercise asking how one can prove God is real.

The kids are going to be startled.

What report? Who reported it? And a lack of denial from the teacher?

that indeed appears to be a First Amendment violation

I am not your secretary. Follow the thread, read the links.

Nothing wrong with learning the difference between fact and faith nor with making a case for your answer. Look at the actual list of questions.

The only question I have is whether its age-appropriate.

Student says teacher taught 'God is not real'

And no, its not a "first amendment violation". What an asssinine thing to say.

What's funny is that the usual non-thinking RWs can't do the very thing these students were asked to do.

How about you use your critical thinking skills and explain how to prove a negative.

Hmmm?

 

[JakeStarkey]

A critical thinking exercise that develops the problem with disproving God is an excellent adventure.

You believers better understand the same exercise with proving God has an answer you may not like as well.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"It is widely believed that you can’t prove a negative. Some people even think that it is a law of logic—you can’t prove that Santa Claus, unicorns, the Loch Ness Monster, God, pink elephants, WMD in Iraq and Bigfoot don’t exist. This widespread belief is flatly, 100% wrong." http://departments.bloomu.edu/philosophy/pages/content/hales/articlepdf/proveanegative.pdf

The argument for inductive reason recognizes that such logic leads to a conclusion about probability not fact. Inductive argument, though, flies in the face of hundreds of millions of spiritual testimonies that for those people eviscerate the "God does not exist" argument.
