Jewish School Removes Evolution Questions From Exams
Alain Williams writes "Religious sponsored ignorance is not just in the USA, a school in Hackney, England is trying to hide the idea of evolution from its pupils. Maybe they fear that their creation story will be seen for what it is if pupils get to learn ideas supported evidence. The girls are also disadvantaged since they can't answer the redacted questions, thus making it harder to get good marks."
It's a girl's school, there's no extra sexism angle as might be implied by the summary.
I'm not denying evolution, but while we are at the topic, let me ask a related question.
Let's assume that we have an ant, say a RockMonster ant. Then we have another specie, BigAss RockMonster ant, which we have found being evolved from the RockMonster ant. So far so good. The question: what makes evolution split the species into these two clearly distinctive species, instead of, say a hundred different species which are something between RockMonster ant and BigAss RockMonster ant?
A shame the kids themselves don't get a say in their indoctrination & skewed education.
Islam has five pillars: declaration of belief, daily prayers, alms, fasting and Mecca pilgrimage.
Liberalism also has five pillars: democracy, darwinism, global warming, gay marriage and right to elective abortion.
Anybody who adheres to one of those religions believes that their children should be taught the relevant five pillars. That does not mean that people who disagree are idiots or ignorant.
lucm, indeed.
Bullshit.
Actively sabotaging child education because you cannot let go of your goat-herding traditions of fear in the desert is WRONG.
Shouldn't you chew on that a bit yourself instead until you stop compartmentalizing and get over your absurd superstitions?
