Bible Course Becomes a Test for Public Schools in Texas
HOUSTON, July 31 - When the school board in Odessa, the West Texas oil town,
voted unanimously in April to add an elective Bible study course to the 2006
high school curriculum, some parents dropped to their knees in prayerful thanks
that God would be returned to the classroom, while others assailed it as an
effort to instill religious training in the public schools.
But a
growing chorus of critics says the course, taught by local teachers trained by
the council, conceals a religious agenda. The critics say it ignores evolution
in favor of creationism and gives credence to dubious assertions that the
Constitution is based on the Scriptures, and that "documented research through
NASA" backs the biblical account of the sun standing still........
you can teach creationism all you want OUTSIDE of the public school classrooms. if creationism being taught in school is that important to you HOMESCHOOL your children or spend the dough and send them to the private school of your choice. i don't want to hear that crap in MY school system or any public school system in this country. are these people ostriches? do they have their heads in the sand? how can they ignore evidence?
