It means secularists can't step on their rights of free speech or expression of their faith. So simple... why it has to be explained is another story. |

And if they every start teaching something as religious as I.D. in schools then they need to tax the churches. And tax em hard. |

I support taxing mega churches; Joel Olsteen and Creffelo Dollar both made some 20 million dollars last year and Paul Crouch (owner of TBN) has 26 houses (2 in newport beach, ca), a private jet, and has been busted in a gay love with drugs situation.

Since the Bible says pi=3, it should make for some interesting answers to problems in higher math homework. But it looks like the Republicans are cranking up the Base Pandering Machine again looking for votes. Coupled with No Child Left Behind, it would make for some really interesting times for employers in the future where a college education that most people won't be able to afford will be the least common denominator. -Kerry O. |

If I get asked a question on a test, and my religious mythology says something different I cant be marked wrong . . . sorry that is ridiculous in the extreme. I cant really see how anyone who believes in the education system having a unbiased job of teaching kids can sit by and not see the problem with the verbiage in this sad attempt. So is it really discrimination to tell little young earth Johnny he is wrong about the earth being 6k years old? |

So is it really discrimination to tell little young earth Johnny he is wrong about the earth being 6k years old? I hear you. To me, it's no less than the gentrification of the ivory towers by theologians hoping to become the de facto pulse of learning and knowledge in this country. And it's sometime frightening. Look at the Middle East. In ancient times, it was the center of learning and knowledge. Where did it start to go wrong and become what it is today? When it decided to give up the observable for the parochial. Right now, there's a thread in Science and Philosophy about Einstein that shows how this is done, the one that says Einstein was just a crazy academic. I believe it's a left-handed ad hominem aimed at people who spend their lives trying to solve problems through discovery and the scientific method by the inadequate trying to rationalize their intellectual bankruptcy. -Kerry O. |

Very insightful Kerry.
It is interesting how the Muslims saved documents from the library of Alexandria from the Christians who wanted to burn them, and that finding these documents later meant a revival of knowledge and learning in the "christian" world. Yet the very idea of knowledge being sacred is spit on with these kinds of moves in our schools |

I didn't know a lib who never met a tax they didn't like. So typical. BTW...it's not less than teaching a theory of evolution as fact. It clearly isn't but that has been debated here by many who have more of an interest than myself in it. |

Yet the very idea of knowledge being sacred is spit on with these kinds of moves in our schools I know. It's this same crowd who kvetch endlessly about political correctness, all while wheeling theirs in place like a Trojan Horse. "Religion has treated knowledge sometimes as an enemy, sometimes as a hostage, often as a captive and more often as a child." -Charles Caleb Colton -Kerry O. |
