    "DOVER, Pa. - When talk at the high school here turns to evolution, biology teachers have to make time for Charles Darwin as well as his detractors.

    With a vote last month, the school board in rural south-central Pennsylvania community is believed to have become the first in the nation to mandate the teaching of ?intelligent design,? which holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by an unspecified higher power.

    The revision was spearheaded by school board member William Buckingham, who heads the board?s curriculum committee.

    ?I think it?s a downright fraud to perpetrate on the students of this district, to portray one theory over and over,? said Buckingham. ?What we wanted was a balanced presentation.?

    Buckingham wanted the board to adopt an intelligent-design textbook, ?Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins,? as a supplement to the traditional biology book, but no vote was ever taken. A few weeks before the new science curriculum was approved, 50 copies were anonymously donated to the high school.

    Although Buckingham describes himself as a born-again Christian and believes in creationism, ?This is not an attempt to impose my views on anyone else,? he said."

    Sure it isn't

    What concerns me most is that there have been numerous reports of school security gaurds and police officers using tasers on kids and senior citizens.

    They're turning into the fucking Gestapo.

    I don't believe in Darwin, then again I don't believe in much else as there are still no physical facts as to where we really came from! [img]confused.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Numerous? So far I've only heard of the 6 year old who was hit with a stun gun. Are there other stories or was this exaggeration?

    And in case anyone else didn't hear, the 6 year old was cutting himself with glass in school and the cops tasered him to stop him after all communications failed. Excessively bizarre on both counts [img]eek.gif[/img]

    OK......... we'll throw in Texas here which has now gone to 'abstinence only' books in their school sex education programs.
    And one the ways to avoid sexually transmitted disease is being taught by saying, 'get plenty of rest.'
    Texas leads the nation in teen pregnancies.

    Exclamation

    Shit! If you think that's backwards. The Ohio school board on Thursday placed on the table a propositon that this whole round Earth thing may just quite possibly be a hoax. A parents' stated that she wants her child to be shown all sides and let him decide if it's round or not.
