To be fair, I have ALWAYS said that teaching Creationism in public schools by mandate is fine, if it is taught in a Philosophy class, but never in a Science class. Science is science and Creatuonism is mythology. We have been able to see the difference since the Enlightenment.
I bear no hatred toward Creationism. Notice I capitalize it out of respect.
But Science is science and Creationism is mythology. We have been seeing the difference since the Enlightenment. The argument is not about forbidding teaching anything. God knows we crave and deserve to think as broadly and as critically as humanly possible.
But Creationism does not rise to the threshold of science and the scientific method. A method that has brought all the wonders of the man made environment we share on this glorious planet. And a method that has given mankind a quantifiable and qualifiable way of understanding this planet with all its wonders.
Creationism is one of many scriptural myths among every culture. Isn't teaching the Judeo-Christian myth as science, while relegating the creation myths of other cultures to their appropriate place in Philosophy, a way of the state establishing a religion, and therefore unconstitional?
So no far left drone can post where Walker has tried to change the law so that evolution would be replaced with creationism.
Who has claimed he has?
But others Creationists have tried. It's in their nature:
Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District
the first direct challenge brought in the United States federal courts testing a public school district policy that required the teaching of intelligent design.[1]
In October 2004 the Dover Area School District changed its biology teaching curriculum to require that intelligent design be presented as an alternative to evolution theory, and that Of Pandas and People was to be used as a reference book.[2]
The plaintiffs successfully argued that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and that the school board policy violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
So yes the far left can not find anywhere Walker has signed a law replacing evolution with creationism..
Thus proving this is nothing but far let propagdna hatred and fear mongering..
You can't find any evidence of me being on the far left.
LOL, only every post that you make.
But on the OP. Schools should teach evolution and the biblical version and not take a position on which is right or wrong. Schools should teach, not indoctrinate.
What's my far left position on guns?
How can schools teach without telling kids what's right and wrong?
How could a kid get a 65 on a test if the school has no right to tell him what answers he got right or wrong?
How can a school teach the shape of the Earth if they can't tell the kids the Flat Earthers are wrong?
