Blistering in summer, frigid in winter, raked by tornadoes in he spring, blasted by hurricanes in the fall. But the worst part of it is the Texans. My God, the Texans.

Pvt school allows you to avoid most of the public school retardation.

There's the problem.



No Independents on the board to lecture them about removing politics from discussions of science

That was Ma Ferguson. Get your wacko Texas governors right.

I say this as a church-going Christian, but the Texas BOE is a trainwreck of nutjobs. It could've actually been worse if that crazy facebooking grandma from East Texas had won back in November. She was dangerously close.

yeah. It's dumb. But, something tells me you're all good with a lot of made up bull shite the left had foisted upon children.

This is the kind of shite that happens when the state controls stuff

Texas Votes to Keep Science Lessons Challenging Evolution
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Feb 3, 2017, 12:27 PM ET

The board dropped language that asked biology students to consider "all sides" of scientific theory. Experts said that let religious ideology trump science and might have left students believing God created life.

and might have left students believing God created life

one more time . . .

and might have left students believing God created life

belief that God did not create life IS NOT SCIENCE!
IT IS ATHEISM!

Nice...so if we just leave a god out of the picture and don't inject supernatural belief does not involve making a positive statement that a god did not create life.

No Roger. Unfortunately it isn't.

quote:

[In November Board member Barbara Cargill, R-Woodlands] encouraged the committee to re-insert a passage asking students to “analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and sequential nature of groups in the fossil record.” Committee members wrote in their recommendations that they had struck that passage because there is “not enough time for students to master concept. Cognitively inappropriate for 9th grade students.”
In other words, discussion of theory is held as cognitively inappropriate for 9th grade. So the numbskulls want kids to memorize blurbs and call it "science".

Repeat after me students, "There is no God"
It is not for you to ask why? Just repeat after me students, "There is no God"

Repeat after me students, "Man causes Global Warming"
It is not for you to ask why? Just repeat after me students, "Man causes Global Warming"

Not sure what you mean by "chemicals" in this context... Are you asking if something like acetonitrile (C2H3N) has evolved over time? I don't understand...


Sorry, I think evolution explains how we got from a single cell organism to what we are today. However, evolution does not explain how various chemicals came together to form proteins , DNA, etc. and, how all that was organized into a single cell organism. Simply put, I feel that something had to "tilt the first domino over".

Well I'm sorry your 23 and Me results didn't turn out so well, but the rest of us are closer to apes.
