Rare Look Inside Bible Belt Classroom

[Quixote1818]

The last line of the video is very revealing.

1. That is just plain sad.

There is the dumbing down of America. But this goes beyond that concept.

[Monk06]

3. It isn't sad it's a disgrace to a country that the racist notion that blacks and whites are

different organisms incapable of interbreeding is alive an well in 2015.

America will never defeat racism because parents pass on these lies to their children and are convinced that they are right. And the US constitution guarantees their right to do so

[Hortensis]

11. In the last line the kid's just saying "we're different skins." That doesn't

mean he thinks both aren't God's children and creations. He's just wondering how could this happen if evolution were true. Shouldn't we all at least be striped or spotted, or dark beige, or something? Nice kid, deserves a decent education.

[Monk06]

17. No he said white people couldn't have EVOLVED from black people because they have different skins

So skin color to him and other racists indicates a whites and blacks are different species/

[StevieM]

19. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he is just an idiot.

I see what you are saying though.

[Hortensis]

20. I did relisten. He said "...how can an African American person

evolve from a white person? We're different skin." Whatever. We agree our kids need a proper education, not sculpting of ignorance into an divisive ideology.

2. As Amerca competes to become the stupidest nation on the planet.

I agree with Hitches that religion poisons everything it touches.

14. Like ricin or botulinum.

EVERYTHING.

4. From the 1996 BBC program - Science Friction:Creation

The clip in the OP. It gets worse.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

[gvstn]

7. Gawd, I couldn't even get threw the first clip without vomiting.

I don't even know what to say. I'm all for people having religious beliefs but making laws based on them is ridiculous. I couldn't get tthrough all five parts.

[Solly Mack]

8. I know what you mean. That level of ignorance is mind numbing.

[hifiguy]

15. And it has to be carefully cultivated over many years.

Homo sapiens is a curious, inventive species, as history shows.

Religion, particularly in its astonishingly toxic Abrahamic versions, has proved the most successful method of brainwashing in human history. Taking the curiosity, inventiveness, wonder and desire to understand and discover how the world works out of human beings is not an easy thing to do. But religion has managed to do it.

Mr Carlin?

[Solly Mack]

18. I love Carlin. Thanks!

5. That poor white boy's mind would be blown by the mitochondrial eve concept.

These brains move slow. Watching them in the process of thinking was innerestin'.

[csziggy]

16. How can such a stupid white person have evolved from African ancestors?

Seriously I doubt any of those poor kids have ever been taught science correctly so they have no chance to understand evolution. But I would love to see the mitochondrial eve concept taught to them by a real teacher and watch their deprived brains attempt to absorb the idea that we are ALL descended from BLACK ancestors and that we ALL came from Africa!

If I remember correctly, it takes only about ten thousand years for skin color to change when a population moves from an area with a lot of sun to an area with less sun exposure.

[MH1]

6. That's friggin' child abuse if you ask me.

How can that numbnutz be called a "science teacher"?

[annabanana]

9. perpetuation of generational ignorance

... shameful

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. And the oligarchs laugh heartily at their social engineering feats.

[bunnies]

12. This cant be real.

Its a spoof. Right?

[hifiguy]

13. I have to wonder how hard scientists in

Paris, London, Rome, Tokyo, Berlin, Beijing, Seoul or any other "normal" place would laugh on seeing this. They'd probably die laughing.

That kind of cement-headed imbecility can NOT be fixed, ever. What a bunch of pathetic, superstitious, incurious, hopless fucking hammerheads. They are running headlong into The Dark Ages and want to drag civilized people along with them. These are the kind of morons who flayed Hypatia of Alexandria alive. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia)

And BTW, in scientific jargon a "theory" is something that has NEVER BEEN DISPROVEN by way of the commonly accepted scientific method.
