Ricky's Christmas present to Pittsburgh.................
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 12:34 AM by corporatemedia
it's just what we wanted...a lecture on what should be taught at PUBLIC schools:

Weekend Perspectives: Academic freedom at stake
Present the full range of scientific views on evolution theory
Saturday, December 25, 2004

By Sen. Rick Santorum


<snip>
A recent Post-Gazette editorial was completely inaccurate in describing the York County district's decision regarding the teaching of evolution and indulges in rhetoric instead of engaging in a reasoned debate on the issues.
<snip>
It is beneficial for our students to discuss the exciting unanswered questions surrounding evolution. If we want our students to become educated citizens, we should all support an open, engaging and broad discussion of evolution theory in our public schools.

What kind of "open, engaging and broad discussion" do you think Ricky's kids get at their "home school"?

Thanks, Ricky. Your Christmas present is on the way. It will arrive in just over 22 months!

Note to all DUers following the CYBERGATE story: I'm back and although the CYBERGATE LINKS update has been delayed, it is on the way and should be ready for the New Year. This issue is not dead.
I have new links and new PICTURES coming!
And as I have said before, the best is yet to come! It will be a HAPPY New Year for those who want to rid ourselves of this trash.

1. there was a very telling quote in his article..
"Evolution should be taught as a scientific theory that is open to scrutiny, not as sacred dogma that cannot be questioned."

Basically he believes that everything but religion should be questioned...hmm...I guess Martin Luther didn't know that...

2. i'm telling you, we've got a biblical scholar here...
"Creationism is based on the Genesis creation account, usually including the creation of the Earth by a biblical God a few thousand years ago."

Would you mind telling me which Genesis creation account Ricky? Cause there are a few of them that differ greatly. Oh, but forget the fact that we're supposed to take everything that book has to say literally, like two contradictory statements. Piss on you Rick, piss down you're throat.
