re: #459 Throbert McGee

I would say, rather, that it just goes with the territory of having public education that’s funded by tax dollars — taxpayers who feel sufficiently offended by something in the curriculum are going to raise a stink, and how could it really be any other way?

The YEC Christians certainly aren’t the only special-interest groups trying to get radical agendas into public-school curricula. For instance, gay advocates used to complain with some justification that sex-ed programs totally ignored the specific difficulties (and even the very existence) of homosexual adolescents. Now, at least in some school districts, that pendulum has swung too far in the other direction, with “value-neutral”, graphic discussions of incredibly dubious sex practices being snuck in under the guise of “helping empower teens to make wiser decisions.” But I don’t think this is necessarily because gay radicals are pushier, more duplicitous, or (overall) more radical than YEC fundamentalists; only that the gays have at times been more successful at getting the camel’s nose into the tent.

They need to indoctrinate and recruit children, they can’t procreate. Perverse fuckers.
