**I believed the line about as much as I believe almost anything George W

It was stupid and absurd with no basis in truth and only
an ignoramus would think so.

**Really? What do you make of this?

I wonder why the San Fransicko Chronicle cares what the good people of
PA are doing in their schools and why they think its any of their
business?
I'm sure the good people of PA don't give a crap what San Fransicko
thinks anyway.

"Their ninth-grade curriculum now must include the theory of "intelligent
design," which posits that life is so complex and elaborate that some
greater wisdom has to be behind it."

Or are you trying to tell me that no US schools accept the nonsense of
Creationist theory (a word I use with great caution, as it is hardly a
theory).

I'll tell you what happened in one of our local school districts
some 10 years ago.
One of our local school boards tried to add creation theory into the
cirriculum in addition to evolution already covered. The school board
battled for years and the community was in turmoil. In the end the board
was voted out and the issue died. Not because people didn't want
creationist theory taught in schools, but because the whole fight was
stupid. A High School kid gets about 1 hour of evolution in basic science
class. If he takes biology he might get another couple of hours and a
chapter
on anthropology.
The creationist theory teaching was going to be a 1/2 hour presentation
cuz it wasn't covered in the chosen text.

So what do you know about US public education beyond what you learn
in sitcoms?

**See the above cite. Here is some more information for you:

That's it? That's pathetic... you should really keep quiet on the
subject.

Clearly, the US education system is severely lacking.

No kidding, but it has nothing to do with creation or evolution.
Its the goddamned socialist teachers unions and the flood of
latinos.
