This is crazy. A school in Missouri has banned T-shirts that show an image depicting evolution because its board think it’s not neutral on religion.
What?
Just about anything that’s scientific could conceivably offend someone’s religious opinions. How is evolution anything to do with religion? It’s stating fact.
Are they not supposed to teach or otherwise depict history if they dare to talk of things that happened more than, say, 10,000 years ago? Isn’t that flying in the face of a religion that doesn’t believe in evolution?
Like most of the crap that comes from the mouths of Christians and others of the Deluded Herd, it defies logic.
And they call it education?

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
