As the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth approaches, the conspiracy to dilute and remove evolution from school curriculums across the United States is still very much real. Science and religion shouldn’t be mixed, and the attempt to infuse religion into the classroom is baffling and unconstitutional. Since it’s unconstitutional, the anti-evolutionists continue to impose their agenda by repackaging Creationism into intelligent design and other ideas. From the Dallas Morning News, TX:
Among those expected to testify are science teachers, college professors, parents and various groups hoping to influence the board on proposed language that could require teachers and textbooks to cover both strengths and weaknesses of Charles Darwin’s theory of how humans and other life forms evolved.
Curriculum review committees made up of science teachers and academics recommended last year that the state scrap its long-standing requirement that strengths and weaknesses of all scientific theories – notably evolution – be covered in science classes.
One panel that drafted standards for biology classes proposed additional language that would keep supernatural and religious-based concepts such as creationism – the biblical explanation of how humans evolved – out of those classes.
But social conservatives on the state board and their allies – including evolution critics – want to preserve the requirement in the curriculum standards established by the board. A preliminary board vote is scheduled for Thursday.
