Does Palin want to teach Creationism in schools?

Question

Usless c**p being tought in school is right.

Answer 1

I suppose in a general theology class that explores various religions it would be appropriate.

    But the question is why do liberals continue to support darwinism when the theory has so many hole's in it that it is looking every day to be an "invalid theory".

Answer 2

Yes she does. This is such an ignorant and demeaning choice for vise president. Could you imagine Palin taking the call to be president?

Answer 3

Wants to make it an option from what I understand.

Which is great, just what we need, more useless c**p being taught in school.

Answer 4

If Palin wanted to do any kind of real work - including teaching - she wouldn't be a Republican politician.

I have no problem with Creationism being taught in school, as long as it isn't taught as science and as long as every other creation myth (Hindu, Native American, Greek, Norse, Bantu ...) is given equal weight.

Answer 5

I respect her position on teaching both creationism and evolution.

But I disagree with her position on so many other things....

Those other things are the reasons why I won't vote for this ticket.

>Thanks for the link, Mrs.

Answer 6

She's in favor of intelligent design being taught alongside Evolution. Her mother was a teacher, so maybe that influenced her decision. Maybe not.

Answer 7

It does seem that she does, which is one of the reasons I'm not particularly fond of her. I would laugh so hard if creationism were actually implemented in the curriculum and students themselves were the first to oppose it.

Answer 8

If she does, what of it?  Most parents don't care much about creationism, evolution, etc, what they care about is whether their children are literate, numerate, and able to get a job when they leave school.  Creationism is neither here nor there for most of us.

Answer 9

Well, our government was NOT founded on Christianity, the founding fathers were all Deists, and the principles our government is based on are set firmly in the principles of the Enlightenment Era, which often rejected some of the basic principles of Christianity, (at least in practice if not in theory..but often theoretically, as well).

But I agree that Christianity, as a major facet of Western culture, should be taught in our schools, just not in Science class, and not as an alternative to real science. Creationism, by it's very nature, is a pseudo, that tries to pawn itself off as the "alternative" to evolution. There is no alternative, and Creationism is bogus science and a sneaky attempt on the part of Fundamentalist Christians to teach religion in our schools. Our SECULAR schools.  

Answer 10

Yes.

While I am fine with this being taught in schools I do not think it should be in Science class but a history class or a religious studies type class.

EDIT- I would not consider it useless, Christianity is what our government was founded on.  I think it is ignorant to NOT teach kids about Christianity and other religions of the US and world...but those other religions in the should be included as well.
