Creation Science/Intelligent Design Propaganda in Rogers High School? Dr. Steve says that Greer wouldn't put up with such nonsense.

Creation Science/Intelligent Design Propaganda in Rogers High School? From the Arkansas Times via Dr. Steve.

Darrel Henschell of the Fayetteville Freethinkers reports that:

A senior high student at Roger's High School has reported on our Fayetteville Freethinker board that a biology teacher has had the class watch Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed."

And no, it wasn't an exercise in discerning what propaganda looks like.

The student observes:

"He [the teacher] denies any evidence of fossils between reptiles and birds (even after I handed him an article discussing several) and probably all other fossils. The man claims that apparently the only eight* ancestors of men's fossils have been disproven, or something like that. He also made the argument from authority, "I can't believe you're arguing with a biology teacher about this."

In the forum, the student says he went to Principal Stringer with his concerns. He says that Stringer "blew me off, saying I brought zero information about ID and how he is legally obligated to do anything."

I miss Dr. King.

I would be more interested in hearing what was said on both sides of that conversation. It seems a little one-sided so far.

Virg--It's hard to think clearly when your in a rage----Dr. Steve is absolutely right----Greer would not have put up with such nonsense----Question is, what is the current crowd going to do???-------As a personal favor please , in the future, refer to this group as creationists and don't grant them the annoying annexation of the words intelligent or science.
