Jesusistan “Education” Brings Dinosaurs to the Modern Age
on June 27, 2012 at 6:32 am
Jesusistanis have spent a lot of years screaming that the story of the Dinosaurs as told by science just HAS to be false, because the world has only existed for about 6,000 years. The Jesusistanis have come up with some interesting ways to explain those fossils and bones, however. Former Vice Presidential candidate/thieving nasty white trash skank Mama Grifter has said that the dinosaurs existed on Earth alongside the humans, essentially turning “The Flintstones” into a docu-comedy.
And now, a Jesusistani taxpayer-funded “school” in (of course) Louisiana is doing Mama Grifter one better, and claiming that the dinosaurs STILL walk-er, swim-among us.
Next up-the Earth is shaped like a manhole cover, explaining both its roundness and flatness. Stay tuned.
This would be funny if it weren’t so, well, not funny.
A biology textbook used by a Christian school in Louisiana that will be accepting students with publicly funded vouchers in the fall says that the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland is real. And it isn’t just any monster but a dinosaur — an effort to debunk evolution and bolster creationist theory.
The story, reported in the Scotsman newspaper in Scotland, says that Eternity Christian Academy in Westlake is one of the many Christian schools in the United States that uses these books published by Accelerated Christian Education.
The Biology 1099 edition includes a passage about the Loch Ness Monster that says, in part, according to the newspaper:
“Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ in Scotland? ‘Nessie’ for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.”
Marie Carrier, principal of Eternity Christian Academy, was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying that she would like to accept 135 voucher students for next year to join the 38 children already attending the school in grades 1 through 8.
The reason all of this matters now to the public is that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal recently signed a law that sets up the largest voucher program of any state in the country. Some 125 private and religious schools from across the state are qualified to participate in the Louisiana Believes program, which gives families public money to pay school tuition for their children.
It is interesting to note that one of the schools originally on the list, the Islamic School of Greater New Orleans, withdrew its application for voucher students after an outcry about its participation by some lawmakers.
It seems that fundamentalist Christian schools are acceptable to receive public money, but Islamic schools are not. Republican state Rep. Kenneth Harvard was quoted by the Associated Press that he would not support public funding for “Islamic teaching.”
But he’s got no problem with shoving Jesusistani lies and dogma down the throats of innocent children.
Hey, somebody….. doesn’t our Constitution EXPLICITLY forbid this kind of religious bigotry? Or did we let Louisiana secede? I need to know, because if we did, there’s something extra to celebrate this 4th of July.
If we didn’t, though…. somebody needs to put a big foot into the asses of the Jesusistanis of Louisiana. This cannot be allowed to stand.
They do what ever they want because they can. Many is this country prefer to be simple uneducated fucks. The new Mercun way.
The Talibangelicals get more wacky and more twisted all the time. There must be some sort of contest where the Jesussitanis are all trying to out-Biblehump each other.
Brings dinosaurs to the modern age? Sets the modern age back 65,000,000 years, more like.
And on Republican blogs I read, Jindal is often cited as one of the hottest and most exciting possibilities for Romney’s running mate.
Somebody needs to explain to these twits that the American kids victimized by this kind of “education” will grow up to compete with their contemporaries in Japan, Russia, Germany, China, India, Brazil, and other rising countries who learned actual science. In the contest for technological leadership, the Jesustanis are trying to make the US unilaterally disarm.
