Sorry, I misunderstood your post the first time. Yes our state tests for biological evolution as part of the standardized science tests. Of course they do, which state doesn't? I assumed you meant including theories of origin, which it does not, nor should it. My mistake on the misread. Still the fundy Christian schools out perform most others on state wide achievement tests including science.
>>>"If those kids have been taught science well being told that evolution, large junks of geology, and even things like basic physics are incorrect then they have not only failed at learning science, they have been poisoned for life and will find the anti-dote to there "education" to be long and painful, and only a fraction of them will ever overcome it. And you fail to understand this."<<<
I wouldn't send my kids to a Christian Fundamentalist school, for my own reasons which might be similar to yours. I've seen those kids, when they grow up, and they are high achievers in society as well. I suspect you are either extremely misinformed or just so hateful toward religious people that it doesn't matter to you that they get a good academic education. The bottom line is they are high achievers, which just must rub you raw. |
