I've been removed from politics for a very long time.

But being rusty didn't stop me from making a rant:


I agree that a person can privately pray in school. And i'd like to point out the fact that i'm not anti-religious in any way, but infact pro-neutral when it comes to religion in public places. You don't have to be an atheist to believe that people should stop patronizing other people with their religion as a tool.

Christan's usually go to church on Sundays. Some Christians go to church 3 or 4 times a week. (Been there, done that.) Kids that go to sunday school, learn their bible lessons, they even go to bible school for the whole summer. They have 'under god' in the pledge of allegiance and 'In god we trust' on money. They have missionaries that they admire and a list of people who don't want to be prayed too, but we all know that they'll do it anyways.

Now when they fail to understand anything scientific, we hear complaining about their christian rights and how they should have their bible school lessons instead of science. The future (kids) are having a harder and harder time learning anything every single year anyways; possibly due to textbooks being made into something easier for the kids to learn.. which does the complete opposite and makes the United States look like the idiots that we are.

If the adults and kids alike fail to learn what evolution is all about then I would suggest going to a christian school or going with the normal homeschooling route where it is possible to learn everything in bible mode. Christian music, christian 'science', Christian office equipment.. I'm sure they would have no problem saying that they're smarter than public school kids and feed their own egos that they understand heaven better, and will infact go to heaven faster than an atheist can screw in a light-bulb, which happens to be a hopeful fact at times.

Forget it, no one can control what people learn or better yet, want to learn. The government has a problem with it, I have a problem with it, my cat has a problem with it...(maybe, I have yet to understand the kitty-cat mind set). It's obvious that everyone would like to 'accidentally' hack into someones memory and re-brainwash that person to comply with what ever it is you believe in. But in the moment we reach that ultimate goal, you wouldn't be thinking about politics at that time and age.

2. Corporate America decides what goes

in the textbook. Slant information.

3. I didn't state that corporate american didn't decide what goes in textbooks.

[shance]

4. Corporate America along with the wealthy white males that run corporate America

have been writing the textbooks for over a hundred years now. That is why our perspective and knowledge of history is both so limited and distorted.

It comes from a biased, agenda driven few.

5. Which is why I don't really read textbooks.

I don't think i'll ever stop reading about history though. :)
