Teachers need to proactively combat this shit.

It's funny. Deny that the founding fathers advocated the separation of church and state by removing the founding father that advocated most for the separation of church and state.

We should remind them that they should consider removing Locke, as well. He also liked that pesky idea.

That's fucking pathetic.

I think Religion means a different thing in 2010 than it did in 1776. Religion in Western society is like a suggestion.

Yeah, and you thought Americans wouldn't get any stupider.

Lamont Cranston · 03.14.2010, 04:39 AM

As they continue to teach this and it becomes more and more extreme, each generation will become more and more unable to contribute in any way beyond being a worker ant. This will ensure the USA is incapable of being a world super power as fewer and fewer people have the capacity for rational thought required for science, medicine, economics, law, and politics.
Rather like what happened to Pakistan under ul Haq.

lamont cranston,
well said. i agree that each generation will be more and more unable to contribute. however, i do think that eventually what they contribute will only end up being the most negative.

dale_gribble · 03.15.2010, 01:27 PM

nothing out of the ordinary.

Well maybe it'll become class-stratified adjectives with only the rich possibly capable.
