Re: Why is Georgia a f****ed up state?
Although I myself am a creationist, I realize that not everyone is and I accept that. I also realize that school is not a place that is meant to impose beliefs on children, but educate them in the ways of the world.
Thus, I can kind of understand the rational behind this.
It doesn't make it any less stupid.
Banning either creationism or evolutionism (or the names of them) is not the way to go. Schools need to teach both theories and let the students decide. There should be no censoring on either side.
My Biology teacher last year was (is) a very devout Christian, and he didn't hide it. He did, however, teach evolution although he said himself he didn't believe it. He allowed the students themselves to make the choice without trying to impress either theory more than the other.
I can see the good intentions behind banning "evolution," but intentions aren't everything.
Besides, as people have already said, it does nothing. The actual word used means nothing if the definition is the same.
