How's your child's science curriculum? I bet it's not as "creative" as this one! (Page 10)

Wiki will tell you different.

But there are several different kinds.

Voluntary manslaughter has malice, involuntary does not... but involuntary manslaughter is not a mere accident. But it varies state to state. But I am no lawyer, and the internet is all i have, so I will quit while I am... somewhere.

But I admit, I could be a mon frere.

Well done sir!

Were you there?

Sorry to bring this one back, but I just saw this article and knew you guys would have a thing or two to say about it.

Is evolution missing link in some Pennsylvania high schools?

I was really surprised that there were any public school teachers teaching young earth ID in the classroom, but apparently it's a little more prevalent than we all thought.  I'm sure you guys will have some strong opinions on that.
Brian, what's up with your PA schools? 

Here's their survey results:

That makes me want to move to another state.

i went to HS in PA and was never taught creation/intelligent design in my biology classes.  so there's 2 good teachers

there are a handful of states that question could apply to...

I thought the exact same thing.  I know a few years ago (1985) when I took high school biology, we were not taught creationism (ID came later).  

I'm afraid that since ID sounds more scientific it is beginning to be acceptable to teach.  

I was really surprised that anyone was teaching it in public schools to be honest.  I know back in the late 80's when I was in HS it was all evolution and my kids are only being taught evolution in Nebraska which is up there as far as conservative states goes.

**edit - I went to HS in Iowa

I do agree with you that ID and creation shouldn't be taught in the science classroom.  I have opinions on religion and creation being taught in schools, but even if I totally got my way it wouldn't be in the science room.  I would call it what it was and have it be part of a religion class or something like that.

I think that would be cool.  I love studying and learning about different religions, even though I'm an atheist.

The problem is that it is hard to trust people to teach it as an academic exercise without crossing the line of preaching a certain faith.

There are instances where you can teach religious texts as literature.

It is hard to teach major musical movements, periods, and influences without hitting some of the classical religious songs.

However, it has to be academic.

Take a lawsuit happy world, a lawsuit adverse organization, and a bunch of people likely to cross the line... it is hard to not just want to avoid it entirely.
