It's the same thing.

If you want to teach that biology doesn't exist ... you have to let all ride.

LGBT opened the door to this.

Yeah I get what your saying and agree, LGBT and other leftist pseudo-religious ideas being taught are analogous to forcing creationism to be taught. I'm just saying this law isn't even doing that, it's just stating religion is a protected class, yet the leftist pseudo-religious still hypocritically complain.

IMHO religion just likes keeping people dumb so they don't question anything. Similar to what the flat earth society believes is a reason to make the earth is round.

Please point out where we have seen one species turn into another species?

For those who keep blabbering on about how science works, they should understand the simple fact that it must be observable AND repeatable.
one example:

Quote:
For example, there were the two new species of American goatsbeards (or salsifies, genus Tragopogon) that sprung into existence in the past century. In the early 1900s, three species of these wildflowers - the western salsify (T. dubius), the meadow salsify (T. pratensis), and the oyster plant (T. porrifolius) - were introduced to the United States from Europe. As their populations expanded, the species interacted, often producing sterile hybrids. But by the 1950s, scientists realized that there were two new variations of goatsbeard growing. While they looked like hybrids, they weren't sterile. They were perfectly capable of reproducing with their own kind but not with any of the original three species - the classic definition of a new species.

The creation/evolution controversy goes back long, long before gay rights were in the public consciousness.

Simple.

State says education is compulsory. Applied at gunpoint.

State then formulates curriculum. Applied at gunpoint.

Why in the world is any moral and logical person going to entertain beefs by the peasants on curriculum if the complainer supports the first two paradigms?

End compulsory education laws. End their funding via armed robbery. Teach your child through private schools, home school, or no school. It's not anyone's responsibility but the parent to determine curriculum.

But neither team will do that. They like the armed robbery. They like the forced association. They like the indoctrination.

It's what good little Marxists do.

Yet another attempt to placate the Creationism Club. It'll probably end up in court over separation of church and state. The Bible itself is full of self-contradictions, so this is a teaching nightmare waiting to happen.

Student: the Earth has four corners; it says so in the Bible.

Ohio teacher: you pass.

Absolutely. And religion was subsequently banned from schools.

HOWEVER: LGBT anti-science rhetoric being included in school curriculums has opened the doors for other groups to push their own anti-science rhetoric into the classroom.

Congratulations!!! You "won!!!" /faceplant/

PS. I don't consider it a "gay right" to FORCE biology teachers to say 'girls can be boys' and 'boys can be girls.' YMMV.

Student: I have a penis so I'm a girl. I can also get pregnant and need tampons.

Biology teacher: you pass.

Biologically that is called a hermaphrodite, and it does happen. Usually though the person is infertile.
