billvon 2,989 #1 June 27, 2012 Well, it took a while, but finally Southern Christians have ironclad proof that evolution is a fraud - the Loch Ness Monster, which is really a dinosaur that's been alive since the Deluge. http://www.scotsman.com/news/odd/loch-ness-monster-cited-by-us-schools-as-evidence-that-evolution-is-myth-1-2373903 The same Accelerated Christian Education program (ACE) is also undoing decades of misinformation that tries to portray the Ku Klux Klan as a bunch of bad people: " . . . the Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross ... In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians." http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/education/how-american-fundamentalist-schools-are-using-nessie-to-disprove-evolution.17918511 There is a downside to this. Only 200,000 kids in the US are getting an ACE education, so fundamentalists have a long road ahead of them before every schoolkid believes in the Loch Ness Monster and rejects evil secular science. On the plus side, since Louisiana has a school voucher program, taxpayers are funding this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christelsabine 1 #2 June 27, 2012 What's wrong with those news? Everybody knows: Only b/c you can't see it, it does not mean: It's not existing. Right? So, easy as that: Just pack your rucksack, enter a boat to Loch Ness, sit down at its beautiful shores and wait - Nessie will appear, sooner or later! That's proven, watch the news papers. beep-beep-beep *This is a message for you Southern states* beep-beep-beep (Sent: June 27th, 1912 via radio transmission) dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why it appeared in the Scotsman: ============================== Of course, the Scottish tourist industry might well reap a dividend from the craziness of the American education system. Nessie expert Tony Drummond, who leads tours as part of Cruise Loch Ness, has a few words of advice to the US schools in question: come to the loch and try to find the monster. "They need to come and investigate the loch for themselves," says the 47-year-old. "We've got some hi-tech equipment. They could come out on the boat and do a whole chunk of the loch. "We do get regular sonar contacts which are pretty much unexplainable. More research has to be done, but it's not way along the realms of possibility." =============================== It's a win-win situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the education system allows for personal investigations: What could be better, then? Just imagine only one kid coming home, telling his school mates and the teachers: I've seen it, the monster itself, it was just 3 ft behind me .... That would shatter the entire (school) educational system! And as "they get regular sonar contacts ...." - could it be even better? That kid would be more popular than Justin Bieber.

Neither did Al Qaeda or their parent organization, the Mujahideen. They started out as an organization to protect their followers from Western (and Soviet) aggression and preserve morality in their countries. I can imagine what you could put in kid's textbooks: "Al Qaeda in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and the foreign aggressors ... In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with poppy farmers and women's groups." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #12 June 27, 2012 Quotethe KKK on the History Channel. They didn't start out evil. They wanted protective justice from the northern carpetbaggers. That's bullshit revisionist history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_klux_klan#First_KKK QuoteKlan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans. In 1870 and 1871, the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes.[18] Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing blacks' voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to segregationist white Democrats regaining political power in all the Southern states by 1877. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
