Quote by: Chancellor  But since evolution is not, itself, science, having a bias toward evolution as a theory of origins (as opposed to, say, intelligent design) is an inappropriate bias (because it is a bias toward a particular theory of origins - though it is probably incorrect to refer to evolution as a theory of origins despite Darwin's book on evolution containing "Origin" in the title). |
It is essential to understanding the science of biology, which in public school is the first scientific discipline you learn (though I think physics should go first). Teaching evolution as a theory of origin, i understand that this detracts from children who are trying to believe in religion, however it is science class. Also, they rarely rarely teach evolution as a theory of origin from nothingness, only from origin from lesser species. Evolution has yet to explain "the spark" as its called, you're right, but they never tell you that it does.

Quote by: Chancellor Bias toward literature that has nothing whatsoever to do with American/English literature, bias against using correct grammar and spelling. Biases against parents teaching their children values; biases against the strict limits imposed on the federal government in the Constitution; biases in favor of or in opposition to particular political views (as happens with all this diversity and political correctness crap); teaching so-called "values clarification" (situation analysis, moral relativity, outcome-based education); "revising" history in order to conform it to political correctness; etc. |
Tell me if you think this is true: that schools using political correctness, shit talking the second amendment, and expressing political views is only a microcosm of America? Not that this makes it okay, but I also know that it is important to learn to disagree with authority figures.
For me, i was lucky. I went to a SUPER liberally biased high school, but the first semester was spent teaching us critical reasoning, and as a result, the experience was NOT brainwashing
