>private schools

Not surprised. That's the main reason why southerners send their kids to public schools. Most facts directly contradict the religious beliefs they're trying to instill in their kids. Those kids probably didn't learn very much about geology or history either.

I went to a religious private school. I caused quite a commotion being the only 11 year who openly questioned the absurdity of the bible and the existence of God himself.

The nuns didn't know how to handle me and the principle suggested to my mom that I might need a psychiatrist or something.

This is actually kind of good to learn and know about.
But it doesn't belong in a science class. It belongs in some kind of philosophy / cognition theory / meta science class.

It's already taught. Humanities and history classes teach about all major religions.

[Anonymous No.5276813]

>>5276801
Not particularly well.
I couldn't tell you the difference between a Hindu and a Taoist, and I certainly didn't get any meaningful education regarding Islam; not even the historical parts where Muslims were particularly advanced mathematically way back when.
The best information I got was when I read Life of Pi for my AP english class in 12th grade.

Although I would whole-heartedly support a world religions elective in K-12.

Everybody needs to realize that these are private schools that get some tax money, and the real schools still teach real science.

Most of the private religious schools in the south came about in the mid sixties to early seventies as a direct result of forced integration.

Private schools can do what they want, but if they are going to teach creationism, teach every religion's point of view, not just christianity. It makes it more fair to other religions. Also, they could be a bit more specific when it comes to evolution and the big bang.

[Anonymous No.5276931]

>>5276926
Private schools do what they want buddy. If they want to completely avoid evolution they are within the law to do so.

[Anonymous No.5276932]

>>5276918

Of that private school, yes. All it tells people is that you graduated from an institution that does not penalize you for not understanding biology and cosmology, so they probably aren't going to get any jobs in those fields.

There's no such thing. You don't "believe in" evolution, you accept the facts of it.

You do realize there is a whole pseudoscience called "christian science" right? Just because at your school they don't present creationism ideology as scientific doesn't mean in other places it isnt taught as science.

[Anonymous No.5277729]

>>5277696
And just because it is "taught as science" doesn't mean that it is science.

Nope. Most southerners send their kids to public schools because they're paid for and parents don't have money for private school. Rich ass Republicans send their kids to top-notch private institutions and then harp about the importance of "public education" while reducing it to nothing via legislation.

Welcome to the South. We didn't learn shit about shit. Small exceptions with teachers who risked losing their jobs in order to give us a proper education.

In Croatia, when you study theories about how life came to exist, there are several theories, namely all the big ones, like creationism and cosmic theory and so on, but as welll creationsim is presented as one of the theories, though it's just mentioned and not really taken seriously. the only one which is considered valuable is evolution and the textbooks begin with presenting the theories and then just keeping up with the evolution stuff. I think that's fair. It looks just right to me.

WHAT THE FUCK

they're not even putting correct information in the "evolutionist" column. I consider a magnitude of three to be pretty goddamn significant.

fucking goddamn religious asshole cocksucking cunts.

and who was that nigger who said 'i will not pay tax dollars for the niggers to teach my kids lies'

i mean what the fuck.

this shit is clearly fucking biased and lacks considerable research. the authors probably pulled half of the shit out of their ass without crosschecking anything. god fucking damnit i don't know where to put all this rage.
