    well done louisiana.

    "Board Member David Tate quickly responded: “We let them teach evolution to our children, but I think all of us sitting up here on this School Board believe in creationism. Why can’t we get someone with religious beliefs to teach creationism?” Fellow board member Clint Mitchell responded, “I agree … you don’t have to be afraid to point out some of the fallacies with the theory of evolution. Teachers should have the freedom to look at creationism and find a way to get it into the classroom.”"


    dudes. teach your creationism at sunday school, where you can teach all the policies of your superstitions.



    maybe they should be allowed to teach intelligent design in science class, provided that they have to use the word "allah" instead of god when they are discussing who the wizard is that is doing the designing.

    I will pull my daughter out of school if they start teaching creationism and home school her.

    LIVINGSTON — The Livingston Parish School Board will begin exploring the possibility of incorporating the teaching of “creationism” in the public school system’s science classes.

    uncalled for but you are entitled to your opinion. kind of sounds like you are saying my daughter is going to be screwed up regardless. it takes a big man to insult children on a message board.

    I think it was a jab at homeschooling, but it's none of my business.

    In all honesty, you should let her make up her own mind. But again, it's none of my business how a parent raises a child. As long as they parent.

    dude clearly meant home schooled kids are not well-socialized. they end up kicking ass at spelling bees while looking really weird and having no friends, or crying on football fields.

    the idea that he was insulting your daughter is insane. you are terrible at reading.
