Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution
Helical writes "In an attempt to defy the newly approved state science standards, Florida Senator Rhonda Storms has proposed a bill that would allow teachers to contradict the teaching of evolution. Her bill states that 'Every public school teacher in the state's K-12 school system shall have the affirmative right and freedom to objectively present scientific information relevant to the full range of scientific views regarding biological and chemical evolution in connection with teaching any prescribed curriculum regarding chemical or biological origins.' The bill's main focus is on protecting teachers who want to adopt alternative teaching plans from sanction, and to allow teachers the freedom to teach whatever they wish, even if it is in opposition to current standards."
I only had to look at my teachers to see that they contradicted evolution.

God willing, math teachers will be the next to be freed from the chains of having to teach facts in school.

Finally we'll be able to teach Pastafarianism in public schools! www.venganza.org
How come every time I read some news like this I start to hear "Dueling Bangos" playing?
How about a law that says that if I don't believe pot causes health problems I can choose to smoke it legally?

Reminds me of Ms. Garrison "All right, kids, it is now my job to teach you the theory of evolution. Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of *bullcrap*! But I've been told I have to teach it to you anyway. It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this..." "In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its... ...mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this. Retard frog-sqirrel, and then *that* had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you! So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!"
As my ID pushing narrow minded coworker said:
"The Bible IS science."
I shit you not.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
The flying spaghetti monster has always sought to be taught in Florida classrooms, and thanks to some foresight by genius politicians, he can!
Bye!
I can't tell you what a progressive move this is for supporters of the movement for the recognition of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a religion! And if this bill passes, it will open the door for its truth to be taught in schools!
Please write your representatives to THANK them for opening the door for this wonderful moment in history!

Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
Well let's see, a patient comes in with a complaint. The doctor forms a hypothesis as to what is causing the problem(s) based on the available data (presenting signs, symptoms, epidemiology, etc..). He/she then orders tests or medication to gather additional data to support or refute the hypothesis. Based on the data from the tests, he/she either forms a new/better hypothesis, or arrives at a probable diagnosis.
Yeah -- I guess you're right. That doesn't sound very scientific-methody at all~.

Sometimes they forget a moon and have to go back and get it. Notice that it never happens to Venus or Mercury.
