"Tom - I agree with you. I think it's a case of liberals ( the media) looking to take up for the liberal agenda even if it means to create lies around it. I live in AZ and I can tell you there is a lot more to this story than what you are reading here. The teachers and administration in charge of the program are promoting anti - American philosophies, teaching things that are not true...basically creating hostility between the Hispanic children and USA and it's history ( typical of liberals) all at the expense of the tax payer. What this boils down to is radicals teaching children that really have no business in the classroom. I've watched and read enough about this to be able to see it for what it is.

Arizona is a beautiful desert wonderland in many places. However, there is something confusing happening there.

Quote:

A. A school district or charter school in this state shall not include in its program of instruction any courses or classes that include any of the following:

1. Promote the overthrow of the United States government.

2. Promote resentment toward a race or class of people.

3. Are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group.

4. Advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.



Wow. Just...wow.

I'll bet this was supported by the same people who think only the other side is responsible for "political correctness", too.

I wonder when they will ban "A Christmas Carol" for portraying capitalists as greedy.

Mississippi is working on a law that would require schools, through University level, that teach evolution to also teach creationism and teachers will be forbidden to disrespect creationism or express any personal opinion on whether creationism is plausible or not.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I just can't see how you can teach creationism in a public school. Separation of church and state. Unless Aliens a created us.

The United States of America is a turd in a toilet that has been flushed.

It might be fun, spiraling down into the abyss, then again, it might not be.

You can't teach creationism in school because it's a bunch of unfounded, unproven, unscientifically backed bullshit.
