Listened to this last night.

Hey all. Since this was brought up in a different thread I thought I might share this with you. It is about the new bill from Tennessee that aims at alternative theories to be taught along with evolution, such as creationism, intelligent design etc. It is a long read but worth it. It is a transcript of the Diane Rehm's show.

I think the bill is idiotic but that's just me...

Whats so wrong with having a different view or opinion or a plane of thought and how would it affect you?

Because teaching those "theories" to children who don't know better is as bad as teaching them propaganda. I'm fine with religion... just not in the classroom.

so teaching them right and wrong is bad too? even if its in the classroom
