As a way to show that the theory is absurd, right? Right?
While I know the people behind laws like this would never care, here is a video I really enjoy by featuring Richard Dawkins.
Underpaid high school teacher: “Any questions on the lesson?”
Student: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Schoolteacher answer: Wha?
West Virginia learning nothing from Kansas doung the same dumb shit with their board of education two decades ago sounds about right.
Also, it seems that legislators don’t know the difference between a scientific theory which is supported by evidence and a layman’s theory which is a hypothesis.
West Virginia learning nothing from Kansas doung the same dumb shit with their board of education two decades ago sounds about right.
They learned that they can get away with it, and that’s the only lesson these Nat-C’s care about.
The one-sentence legislation now declares that “no local school board, school superintendent, or school principal shall prohibit a public school classroom teacher from discussing and answering questions from students about scientific theories of how the universe and/or life came to exist.”
Seems like a really weird thing to make into a law. Does West Virginia codify any other part of their curriculum into a statute?
So they’re not ordering new text books (yet) they’re just allowing teachers to bring it up, and answer questions.
Sounds like it will open the door for crackpot teachers, but it’s not “being taught” in the school. Definitely a slippery-slope, hopefully not many teachers indulge.
“Creationism is not a scientific theory. Next question?”
If ever there was a slippery slope/groomer argument to be made.
Intelligent design takes all 20 seconds to explain, 5 seconds if you talk fast.
Don’t forget that God planted dinosaur remains into the Earth to test our faith.
“So, students, does anyone have an argument against intelligent design? Yes, Billy?”
“Yeah, the balls are on the outside.”
People working hard making sure kids can get mixed messages in school, while not ever learning about how their genitals work.
Looks like his noodly appendage is about to reach out to West Virginia.
