Private school's curriculum downplays slavery, says humans and dinosaurs lived together

"Some private schools in Florida that rely on public funding teach students that dinosaurs and humans lived together, that God’s intervention prevented Catholics from dominating North America and that slaves who “knew Christ” were better off than free men who did not.
[...]
The books denounce evolution as untrue, for example, and one shows a cartoon of men and dinosaurs together, telling students the Biblical Noah likely brought baby dinosaurs onto his ark. The science books, they added, seem to discourage students from doing experiments or even asking questions."

---So, this is what your tax dollars are going toward. Way to go, Flori-DUH.

Remove the State funding and any tax credits they/parents may receive.
Why do States not have a minimum of what must be taught?

Is’t this curriculum anti-Catholic as well?

It would appear so, and that traces back to the old Klan ideology that "Papists bow to a Roman dictator". I do not have a dog in that fight specifically because I am not Catholic but who needs even more sectarian hostility in an already hostile environment?

This breeds ignorance, and from that hate, mistrust and other issues begins to grow.
Ignorance is the birthplace of hate.

It has been, and probably will be, better than where you were educated.

FL schools are not prone to the SJW indoctrination, baby.

Fine, but damned if I'd want my taxes to pay for private religious teaching. That's wrong.

Compared to where? How?

And if Florida schools are not prone to "the SJW indoctrination" then why is it necessary to spend public funds to pay for religion based curriculum? And, with very little oversight I might add.

What business is that of yours? If people get a voucher, parents can school their kids wherever they can afford. That's none of your business.

If it is public funds it is my business. Public funds should not support religious based education.

Are you having a problem understanding that or did you graduate from a high school in Florida?

I did, and I can run circles around your retarded ass.

No tax money paid for my education, wait, except that gifted stuff. Yeah, that was public school.

But it was good public school.

The teacher/head of the dept even led us in prayer. :2razz:

In public school. Before you wanna know who it was to sue her and and all that, it was 30+ years ago.



You're kinda outta gas there.

:lamo

Now you're gettin' a wee bit too personal there, bubba. Explain to me what business that is of yours, and then we'll converse further.

Personally, I don't see it happenin'

Here..


What HS did you graduate from?


The answer to your question, is the one in the big metropolitan area that's at sea level.

Good enough?

I graduated from Druid Hills High School in Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta, DeKalb County.

You apparently didn't know this but all public schools in Florida are funded by taxes, local, state and federal. They were 30+ years ago and they are today, only less so comparatively now under Governor Scott. Still the reduced funding now available to operate public schools in Florida comes from local, state and federal taxes. Citizens are required to give a percentage of their income to support Florida public schools. Florida citizens very much have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. If you live in Florida you are supporting public schools in Florida, even though you aren't apparently aware of it.

Depending on the county in Florida the ethnic, cultural and religious demographics differ, say between Duval and Dade or Pinellas and Walton.

Broward has the largest Jewish population of any county in Florida while, if I am not mistaken, Dade has the highest Catholic population in Florida.

I'm going to assume you are a Protestant. I'm also going to assume that your head teacher didn't lead the class in a Jewish prayer or a Hindu prayer or a Santeria, Muslim or even a Catholic prayer. It was most likely a Christian prayer that wasn't Catholic.

If you were a little Jewish girl living in Broward who like most people didn't bring her religion to school and you were subjected to a daily prayer from a faith you did not believe in you would likely feel somewhat ostracized and maybe intimidated. Your parents would be paying taxes to have their child subjected to unwanted religious worship. In Broward I hope the population of Jews is large enough and active enough to stop such a practice in Broward public schools. In Ft. Walton County or Baker it might be a bit more difficult for Jewish parents to stop such a thing, but it would be no less their right to demand that their tax dollars not be used to support religion.

If you are a Catholic living in Dade you'd probably not want your neighbors kids who go to a private school funded by tax dollars coming home and telling your children how God stopped America from becoming overrun by Catholics. If kids learn that garbage in a private school funded by non-tax dollars that's one thing. Funded by your tax dollars it something else entirely.

If you want your children to learn that Noah had baby dinosaurs on the ark, I don't care where they learn that but I don't want my tax dollars teaching that religious belief in publicly funded schools.
 
Fine, I'm moving to Florida, cashing out all my assets, and opening a Satanic charter school, paid for with Florida taxpayer money.

look, I have no use for SJW bull poop, but this sort of school is no better if it pushes bigotry, blatantly wrong mutations of scientific and historical fact etc.

That you said "bigotry"

Sorry. You're done, The End.

Approved by what? There's no regulatory environment.
That's the whole point of the thread.
So, while you stroll around pronouncing everyone who doesn't fit your narrow authoritarian agenda with your "lefty, commie, SJW" and other nonsensical red-baiting tactics, (as usual) you miss the entire point, (as usual) which is the fact that no one is minding the store, nobody with any common sense is making sure the little tykes are actually getting a well rounded FACT BASED education.

So, for the same reason some nimrod can start up a bible thumper indoctrination camp, fill their little skulls with inaccurate mush and call it a voucherized private school, another group can set up a satanic school. And if they're barred from doing so, expect a ginormous lawsuit, also on the taxpayer dime. And they will win, too.

Because if you're going to make special allowances for one group of religious whackos, you better be ready to make allowances for ALL of them.

LOL, I smell POE
 
PS: The problem isn't unique to Flori-duh either.
My own state, California...also has ZERO regulatory infrastructure for schools of this nature, and it's a problem.
CA doesn't even have regulations to govern HOME schooling ventures, which is the reason why we ended up with a family of thirteen transplants now known as The Turpin 13.

And I'll be damned if my taxpayer dollars are going to go in support of nutjobs who think Jesus rode dinosaurs or that slavery was actually a pretty good deal, or any other bullcrap that doesn't pass muster.
No more taxpayer funding of religious based schools, period.
