Teaching Ignorance: The Infiltration of Creationism is Dumbing Down our Youth

I went to elementary school in the early 90s, so that might explain why things were so different.

 

I disagree. I think they should be taught astrology, palm reading, and all the creation myths of all the world's cultures. Then have them use an Ouija board to decide which of them is right. The best students should be promised really cool presents from Santa Claus.

 

That is utter elitist nonsense. All students should get presents.

 

Oh, wow. Yep, things had changed a whole lot by the time you were in school. I went to elementary school in the early 70's. Every morning, we stood up, said the Lords Prayer, turned to the left, where our flag hung, put our right hand over our hearts and said the pledge of allegiance. Then we sat down, and class would begin. I too, grew up in the deep south.

Of course, back then, books like 1984 was required reading in high school as well. Not so, now.

 

I agree with you on male flight attendants, that's just wrong. And they shouldn't be overweight or over 40. Same for nurses. IMO.

 

Why not sounds like the economics dept of most universities except instead of santa claus the govt hires them?

 

Does that mean they get to retire at 40 with full benefits on your dime?

 

Diehard socialists like ft , dumb currrents etc, really don't like people reading 1984.

 

Que pasa
