  7. Re:public funding; national or local? on Creationism In Texas Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Most abolitionist were devoutly christian, and nazism was areligous because jesus took away loyalty from hitler. So I'm not sure what point your were trying to make.

    My point is when do they stop being a do gooding hippies trying to edumacate the backwards hicks and when do they start being facists forcing their ideology on other people?

    Who made you or anyone else the arbiter of what is "mental?" That kind of know it all feed back loop led to black people being labeled the sons of Ham and jews labeled as enemies of the german state.

  8. public funding; national or local? on Creationism In Texas Public Schools · · Score: 1

    If it is nationally funded then they should stop or not accept federal money, but if it is only locally funded then who are we to force people from teaching what they believe. You can say that you want to stop it to protect their children, but they probably feel the same way about your children. At what point does a community no longer have a say in what it teaches its own children, when do you say it is okay to force people to do something they don't believe in, and in that case should you not expect someone to force you to do something you don't believe in.

    Long story short it's 2014, not 1914, and not 1964. The hippies are the man now.
