"Mrs. Clinton, speaking to the American Jewish Congress in New York"

well, that explains why she said what she said, but I don't think her or anybody else plans to attack Iran, this is just pandering the the hawkish Jewish constituency

Teaching a bunch of middle school kids creationism is not going to affect our scientific development as a nation. The people that do push our scientific development (more specifically in the field of biology) are - not accountants, not minimum wage McDonald workers, not lawyers, but PEOPLE WITH DEGREES IN BIOLOGY. To get a degree in BIOLOGY you will have to demonstrate extensive knowledge of evolution.

You do know regular classes are taught? Apparently not....they have to follow state curriculum dude.

No, it's not hard to follow up. If they can't follow up and learn that evolution is a fact they're going to fail their college level classes and not even have a biology related profession in the first place. It's not that difficult. Also, as i said before, the highest level biology class you can take in high school is AP Biology, where evolution is taught as a fact.

I'm not saying you shouldn't teach evolution (you clearly should) but it's not that big of a deal if a bunch of middle school kids get taught creationism. Neckbeards make it sound like it's a colossal issue, when it really in actuality has no effect on our development as a nation. Also, you're acting as though most people remember what they learn in high school..yeah right. Many adults barely know how to do algebra. Learning evolution/creationism has no effect on anything science related. A person that won't pass college level biology classes is not going to have a biology related profession. Period. And to pass a college level biology class you're definitely going to demonstrate knowledge and belief in the theory of evolution.

This whole fear of creationism being taught in public schools is pretty stupid. The highest level biology course you can take in grade school is AP Biology, and to pass that exam (which is a nationally administered college-level test and is not determined by state/local school boards) you have to demonstrate knowledge in the theory of evolution. So if creationism is going to be taught, it's going to be taught in middle school level and basic high school level classes. Most students are not going to go into a field that is biology based, so why the fvck does it matter if they believe in the theory in the first place? If you're going to be doing anything significant with biology in your life you're definitely going to have to take college level biology classes where evolution is taught as the unifying theory of all biology. So, in other words, having a bunch of middle school and elementary school kids get taught creationism is not going to fvck anything up, contrary to popular belief. If they want to do something in biology, they're eventually going to be taught that evolution is scientific fact.
