But, you know, since it's an elective, no one should be upset, right? (note: I'm linking to the story, because I can't get the javascript video link to work).
When asked if his teacher had tried to persuade the students, one said:
Student: She hasn't told us any of her opinions, and she just us lets us think for ourselves.
When asked what he had learned in class, another student said:
Student: I've learned that evolution has become over the years more and more...more and more people decide that it's not completely true...and that there has to be another belief or another thing that replaces it.
Reporter: And what is that?
Student: That is an intelligent designer.
Reporter: Meaning God?
Student: Yes. God. The Christian God, created the Earth in six days.
Well, shoot, if all we want is for students to think for themselves and not learn facts, why send them to school at all? Let them think about astrology rather than study astronomy. Let them think about hw gRamer aN sinTAx sux instead of studying English. And let them think about how the earth was created in six days instead of studying biology.
Good gracious, I don't know how poor PZ Myers has the stomach to deal with this stuff all the time. Bless him (with the great noodly appendage).
