The idea that many people believed in a Flat Earth is mostly false. Since they time of the Greeks, most people have accepted the fact the Earth is a sphere.
Look at the old models of the Universe, the ones the Catholics fought so hard to protect; the Earth is a PERFECT SPHERE that sits in the middle of the Universe.
Usually, someone claiming others believed in a Flat Earth are either 1.) intentionally lying to discredit someone else, or, 2.) confused.
is that it works. Let Kansas teach their kids there is no such thing as Science, that God and the toothfairy created the land 6000 years ago, and that believing in anything else will get you sent to Hell...
When it comes time for my kid, and their kids, to start applying for university or professional positions, who is going to get the job, the kid who has been taught about _all_ religious beliefs, who has a solid understanding of biology & and the scientific method, who has been to other lands and participated in their cultures, or, the kid from Kansas who's answer to every question is "the Bible says..." ?
I think it's great Kansas, and any other God fearing state, is trying to force their people to follow their dated religion, because it will not work, the smart people will move to other states, smart businesses wont move into their state, and we can keep as many fundy Christians as possible in one or two states, whose total electoral votes equal about that of Bakersfield or Fresno.
Let them become unfit, and watch them die out.
If you dont like your school''s policies re student privacy and how willing administration is to dictate what you can do on your own time, then don't go there.
Money talks, kids.
The Catholic Church doesnt care what Science says, as long as they are talking about events AFER Creation.
After all, The Big Bang theory was first formulated by a Vatican Scientist.
They dont mind the "HOW" questions; it's the "WHY" questions they get nervous about.
