Well there’s a big surprise.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Another twist.

[kevinm13]

PBS should have it public funding pulled and should be independent. It acts on its own so it should manage that way.

[massgopguy]

Can they show Inherit the Wind? That’s a movie about a trial as well.

What a load of horse pucky!

"The irony is that discussing intelligent design would not teach any student about any religious belief...

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Sorry, bub, but the "wedge document" has already leaked and exposed that bit of chicanery.

...the PBS materials, on the other hand, will," he said."

Oh, and bearing false witness against thy neighbor is on God's Top Ten No-Nos List. Randal Wenger had best arrange to have himself buried in one of those asbestos fireman suits....

Albert Einstein believed in a Creator and he is certainly a lot smarter than any of the Christian haters in the ACLU.

“the briefing packet only promotes religious viewpoints that are friendly towards evolution”

How about promoting the Scientific evidence that is ‘friendly’ towards evolution? Scientific evidence is not a religious viewpoint.

And, NO ONE who has a brain cares what Rupaul or his Paulie-bots think. PBS is nothing but and arm of the liberal dimocrat party!

[SJSAMPLE]

Do ya really think he’s headed for Hell over this?

Oh, looky... another thread about evolution and religion.

Maybe this’ll be the one that finally settles it.

Bwa... bw... bwaaahahahaha....! :-)

Are you kidding? They would have to Whine 24/7 to make enough money to buy Garrison Keeler lunch!

[allmendream]

Albert Einstein also believed that Natural Selection was the theory that best explained Biological evolution, and he was certainly a lot smarter than any of the Science haters at the Dyscovery Institute.

[GOPologist]

No end to this. Evolution is not a science—all it offers is a theory. Which proves what—nothing!

[nsmart]

Why do we tolerate Government Administered Schools? The whole issue could be solved by getting rid of G-Schools.

This article wins the “Most Ironic Complaint in History” award.

>>In the booklet, teachers are instructed to use such discussion questions as: “Can you accept evolution and still believe in religion?” The answer to that query is provided as: “Yes. The common view that evolution is inherently antireligious is simply false.”

“This statement is simplistic and not neutral among different religions, and in that sense arguably inconsistent with Supreme Court teachings concerning neutrality,” said attorney Casey Luskin, program officer for public policy and legal affairs at the institute.<<

This is absurd. These people are absurd.

The people making these attacks on science are the people who spend their lives trying to force schools to teach religion.

For them to come back and say that teachers are not allowed to even say they don’t oppose religion and that science doesn’t oppose religion is highly hypocritical.
