I wrote a comment which was censored. I told the asshole he's an uneducated moron, he has no right to tell biology teachers how to do their jobs, and he should be put in prison for treason.
I have nothing but contempt for you Christian scum who are trying to destroy my country.
posted: Just because there are two sides to a story doesn't make the two sides equal. One side can clearly be wrong, and sticking to it despite overwhelming evidence that it's wrong is indeed worthy of contempt. Our Constitution was founded on the assumption that the voters would be reasonable people, and we support knowledge with public schools and libraries. And yet you have the gall to say that creation, which is a fairy tale and recognized as such by most theologians, should be taught equally with evolution, which has a mountain of evidence to support it - from varying fields of science - and which at least 99% of scientists agree with. The two are not equal, never will be, and should not be taught as such. The only way creationism belongs in a classroom is this way: 12 years of reason-based education, and one minute for the history teacher to say 'Every culture has a creation story, and none of them has been proved by any scientific evidence whatsoever. These are part of culture, not science.'
ReplyDeleteAnything beyond that is prosletyzing, which has no place in public education.
LadyAtheist, did you publish your excellent comments at http://www.cantonrep.com/opinion/letters/x536840611/We-don-t-have-to-agree-politically-but-can-t-we-disagree-civilly
ReplyDeleteIf you did it was censored. I wrote 3 comments there. All 3 comments were censored.
I did try but it never showed up :-(
ReplyDeleteThe news website is located in a middle-of-nowhere county in Ohio. It's probably run by science deniers who love censorship. I don't think I have to say what those Christian assholes deserve.
ReplyDeleteWhat that letter writer fails to realize is that ridiculous ideas deserve to be ridiculed. So when some nitwit christian wants to teach magic in science class, he cannot be surprised when sane people point and laugh at him.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Northeastern Ohio, and I would not have expected Canton to be so backward. Kent State University is near there, and there are real cities in driving distance. Northeastern Ohio is relatively liberal compared to central Ohio. Backwards people are apparently everywhere.
