Education Fraud

The State of California, like those of the rest of the Union it seems, continues to teach a fraudulent theory in our science classrooms - Darwinism/Evolution.

Now before you reach the conclusion that I have gone off the deep end, please rest assured that I am not suggesting any other theory replace it in our textbooks. Rather, evolution as a theory should be dropped completely since it is so ridiculously wrong.

Ann Coulter, in her latest book The Church of Liberalism: Godless supports (through thorough research) seven truths that should be taught so longs as the knucklehead evolutionists are in the classroom:

1) the truth about the entire fossil record, which shows a very non-Darwinian progression, noticeably lacking the vast number of transitional species we ought to see;

2) the truth about the Cambrian (time period), in which virtually all the animal phyla suddenly appeared, with no Darwinian ancestors;

3) the truth about the Galapagos finch population changing not one (significant) bit since Darwin first observed finces more than 170 years ago;

4) the truth about the peppered moth experiment (which was a fraud);

5) the truth about Haeckel's embryos being a fraud perpetrated by a leading German eugenicist;

6) the truth about the Miller-Urey experiment being based on premises that are no longer accepted; and

7) the truth about the nonexistence of computer simulations of the evolution of the eye.

In the current regular-track biology textbook used at the school where I work, Haeckel is downplayed, but still included in a way that appears that he was on to something "right." The Miller-Urey experiment is still presented (with an illustration) as having great merit.

And, of course, the book (Modern Biology by Towle - published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston) bows down to Darwin and his theory of Evolution. The Cambrian Period explosion is mentioned, but is mentioned in such a way that it seems to not contradict anything that Darwin and his followers have spewed forth.

Our schools aren't teaching science in this area. They are teaching fantasy and it is mandated in the state content standards of the State of California.

Catholics in the Public Square

Here's something to read from a Bishop in Arizona prior to voting... I wonder if the likes of Kerry, Schwarzenegger and Kennedy have perused it yet?

Doubtful...

I pledge allegiance to Mexico?

Yes it can happen here, in the good ol' USA. An elementary school in Texas held a rally to "teach" about Mexican Independence day that included a volunteer reciting the pledge that some, though not all, students joined.

Then there is the story I saw today that residents of Texas send 5.2 BILLION dollars a year to Mexico... I am curious as to how many of those residents have legal status as I would have no problem with them doing whatever they wanted to with their legally obtained dollars.

North Korea

It is really quite simple: Initiate a policy of nuclear responsibility. Tell Pyjama Boy that any nuclear attack by any organization or country who got the nuke from North Korea will be treated as an attack by North Korea if it happens againts us or one of our allies. Should such an attack happen, North Korea will become radioactive.

That's what Reagan would do. Too bad we don't have a Reaganite in the White House now.

Vicente is at it again

Early this week, the president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, was whining about how the planned 700 mile wall was an insult to Mexico and was like the "Berlin Wall."

Let's tackle the latter point first. The Berlin Wall was built by the communist government of East Germany under the direction of the Soviet Union so that people from behind the Iron Curtain could not escape. Our wall is not designed to keep our people from escaping!

If he is insulted by the policy, why does he have a simliar anti-illegal immigration policy on his own southern border? Why hasn't the government of Mexico done a better job at addressing the economic problems of the country that encourages its citizens to leave?

If anyone should be insulted, it's us. But do you see the goofy left defending the honor of the U.S.? No! In California, the loony left is more interested in the fact that Governor Schwarzenegger (yesterday) stated that he thought too many immigrants coming from Mexico did not have a desire or plan to assimilate like he did when he came from Austria.

Do you really want Angelides and Pelosi in positions of power?

Drink A-B Products; Boycott Miller

In case you haven't heard SABMiller Brewing (no longer American owned) is supporting the illegal aliens invasion of the United States.

You can join and read about the boycott here.

Remember, only Anheuser-Busch is the only American owned and operated major brewery left in the U.S.A.

Bad Idea, ol' SC

The greedy administrators at USC have reduced the amount of student tickets available for each home football game from 12,000 to 8,000, and have moved the student section away from the 50-yard line so that they can sell more tickets to boosters who are willing to donate $25,000 per year to the program.

I'm all for raising money, but not at the expense of the undergradutates college life and memories. This policy must be reversed.

Cut and Run

From the Center for Security Policy:

CTA's True Position

The California Teachers Association is currently running ads on radio that coincide with the beginning of the school year. In those ads, the CTA encourages parent's to be more active in the lives and education of their children.

However, that parental involvment does not extend to whether or not their minor daugthers want to have an abortion. The radical pro-abortion lobby has a friend in the loony-liberal CTA postion opposing Proposition 85 (the parental notification act).

The crazy thing here is that I, as a public school teacher, cannot give a student Tylenol by law, but I can legally escort a pregnant minor girl to the abortionist without telling her parents.

Madness!

BLAM! A SCREEDY EXPLOSION

1) What do the people of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles really need? According to the Corporate Cardinal, another "Catholic" mortuary where he gets a cut of the action. The Catholic cemetery in El Monte wants to lease land to the non-Catholic Stuart Funeral company (as it has done in other locations) so that the latter can build a mortuary. What, exactly, will this accomplish? It will compete with local funeral directors, many of whom are Catholic, and that, well, doesn't seem very Catholic to me. But the biggest problem is that 4,000-6,000 gravesites will be lost (even more if someone were to build a masoleum instead). With a growing Catholic population, especially in the East Los Angeles area, why would the Cardinal do this?

Money makes his world go 'round. Maybe he needs the income for legal expenses.

2) The morning after pill is about to go OTC across America. Whether one is pro-abortion or not, this is a dangerous plan since there is a significant number of documented cases of women, under the care of a physician who had prescribed the drug, dying as a direct result of excessive bleeding caused by the pill. The fact that the restriction is that only 18 year old or older people can purchase it is just damn silly. This pill will easily find its way into the hands of teenagers. How many teenage girls have to die before American gets some sense? My guess the trial-lawyers will decide that number. Oh, and will the spread of venereal diseases go up? Hmmmmmmmmm...

3) By starting the school year two weeks later than many other districts around the country, the students at my school who take AP classes are already behind in relation to other students as the test date is not moved back for later starting schools/students. So what brilliant idea has my school instituted? SHORTER class periods! Why do we even bother pretending that our public school cares about all students? The unacceptable response from the higher-ups is that the new system will experience some growing pains. Great... tell that to the kids and parents who don't get this year (and possibly later years) back. "Growing pains "does not appear on their AP score sheet as an excuse as to why they did not score as high as they may otherwise have.

4) If Proposition 87 passes, the price of gas will go up. I guess the simple lesson about taxes and prices was not understood (or they don't care) by the idiots who came up with this one. If they just don't care about prices, then I am guessing that they are hoping that you had a public school education.

BLAM!

Undocumented American Aliens in Northen Mexico

It appears that there is a problem in Northern Mexico. Groups of undocumented residents of the United States are roaming over the border to have intimate relations. However, it appears that both the govenments of Mexico and the United States are in favor of this annual event as it promotes a more diversified gene pool. Some opponents of the proposed security wall that the United States is considering fear that if is built, inbreeding will occur and these particular migrants may just die off.

Of course I am not writing about people here, but sheep. Once again, some knuckleheads are putting the lives of people (especially those terrorized by Mexican criminals) behind an animal.

Two wrongs...

Hey, Ms. DiFranco, two wrongs don't make a right, nor does your use of moral equivalence have any basis in Church teaching. Just because something wrong happens that you are not a part of does not give you license to create a public scandal.

Women cannot be priests in the Catholic Church.
