John Henry College - the elite believers (1 Viewer)

[Space]

I've been reading about the John Henry College and home schooling in the US pretty scary stuff. They've decided that climate change isn't happening because "As Christians we must remember that "God provided certain 'checks and balances' in creation to prevent many of the global upsets that have been predicted by environmentalists.

They also teach that homosexuality "reduces life expectancy at age 20 by at least 8 to 20 years" or "substantially increases the risk of contracting breast cancer".

These guys are being trained to be the future leaders of the US.

Biology is not the only science being rewritten in home-schooling textbooks. Other sciences are also being modified to suit the creationist perspective that God created Earth about 6000 years ago. Take for instance this advice on climate change in the book Science Order and Reality published by A Beka Book: "Because most environmental scientists see the universe and even life itself as mere products of chance, it is easy for them to visualise potentially catastrophic changes occurring on the Earth. As Christians we must remember that God provided certain 'checks and balances' in creation to prevent many of the global upsets that have been predicted by environmentalists." For those who still worry about global warming, another A Beka book, Science of the Physical Creation, flatly denies it is happening: "All of the scientific evidence gathered indicates that there is no danger of a global warming disaster."
Chemistry textbooks argue that radiometric dating is unreliable and therefore not a concern for those who believe in a 6000-year-old Earth. And geology books claim that the Grand Canyon in Arizona - a gorge carved by the Colorado river, exposing 2 billion years of Earth's history - was formed rapidly during the worldwide Biblical flood, and all the sedimentary strata visible in the canyon walls were deposited then.
Even astronomy is being rethought to address what many creationists consider their most difficult challenge: explaining how starlight from billions of light years away has reached the Earth in only a few thousand years. Books like Taking Back Astronomy by Jason Lisle suggest possible explanations: maybe God created the light already en route; or maybe the Milky Way sits in a large gravitational well where the time-stretching effects of general relativity can explain the anomaly; or - the creationists' favourite - maybe the speed of light was much, much greater in the past.

Exodus Mandate introduced a resolution asking SBC parents to conduct a "homosexual school risk audit" of their local public school, a survey to "make Christian parents and pastors more aware of the aggressive homosexual activism being sponsored by many public schools". The resolution was passed. The "risk audit" claims, among other things, that being homosexual "reduces life expectancy at age 20 by at least 8 to 20 years" or "substantially increases the risk of contracting breast cancer".

hmmm,reminds me of the chicago school of economists back in the 70`s and 80`s,taught all the guys who went on to screw south america over.
i believe home schooling is a lot better for a kid though.

Home schooling in general seems pretty cool but these guys are taking their kids out of school so they can be taught creationist bullshit.

Chill, by the time these fannies reach leadership age China'll probably be the new superpower, and we'll be worried about headcase, atheist, little red book bashing psychos stuffing their pockets with the fruits of capitalism while at the same time maintaining an frighteningly authoritarian police state.

Or Islamic fundamentalism. Or the RA. Or these John Henry cunts. Wha-eva.
