THOUSANDS of American school pupils are to be taught that the Loch Ness monster is real – in an attempt by religious teachers to disprove Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Pupils attending privately-run Christian schools in the southern state of Louisiana will learn from textbooks next year, which claim Scotland’s most famous mythological beast is a living creature.

This creationist had never heard of using the LNM to 'prove' anything - except the gullability of people who want to believe something - before now.
If we eliminated federal control of schools, we wouldn't have to argue over this stuff, y'know. |

Any school with a 'strict fundamentalist' curriculum should be ineligible for any government money from the vouchers. You want to send your kid to a school like that? Go for it. Just don't use my money to do it. |

Two things:
OP title is a bit misleading. Maybe you should have put LA Christian school(s). Knowing GD, some are simply going to read your title and spread the word that all US schools are doing this. Vouchers are funded by public money. Therefore, our taxes fund them. The thing that sucks about this is that these schools are not always accountable to the same standard and regulations that public/charter schools follow. Also, they don't have to give any of those funds back to the district/county/state. Vouchers are not as good as many people think...unless you are running a private school... |

Says the Scientists Atheist/Evolution Priests....can't having their entire religion go up in smoke. We never see ancient creatures still on the planet that are long thought to be extinct... The Coelacanth is the most famous of all “living fossils” and deserves to be #1 in this list, because it is the best example of a “Lazarus taxon”, this is, animals that were supposed to be long extinct and are unexpectedly found to be alive. Coelacanths were supposed to have become extinct in the Cretaceous period, along with the dinosaurs, but in 1938, a live specimen was caught in South Africa. Since then, more specimens have been seen and photographed, and a second coelacanth species was even found in Indonesia in 1999. Coelacanths are large predators, up to 2 meters (6′ 6″) long; they feed on smaller fish, including small sharks, and are usually found in deep, dark waters. Although rarely captured and consumed due to their horrible taste, coelacanths are critically endangered nowadays. Frilled Shark. This deep sea predator, one of the most primitive sharks alive today, is a relic from the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Seldom seen alive, and only recently filmed for the first time, the frilled shark can grow up to 2 meters (6′ 6″) (with females being larger than males) and they live in deep waters, where they feed mostly on squid. They are not dangerous to humans, and as a matter of fact, most frilled sharks spend their whole lives without seeing a human being. Only dead or dying specimens are usually seen and recorded by fishermen or scientists. http://listverse.com/2010/05/14/top-10-prehistoric-fish-alive-today/ |
