What are they teaching kids nowadays?

Witness The Political Teen:

I haven’t really touched bases on Intelligent Design, but I really don’t see the problem with teaching it. It won’t be taught as though it was a fact, but it will be taught as an idea. Intelligent Design will be presented the same way evolution is, as “something to think about”. Of course as soon as President Bush announced his support for Intelligent Design we hear from liberals that he is trying to institute religion in curriculum. Too bad there is nothing about God or Jesus, but about a “higher being”.

You know, I was ignorant when I was a teenager too. But I didn’t go out of my way to learn things that were wrong.

If we’re talking about a higher being that isn’t God, then who? Aliens? Let’s play that game too, shall we?

Sigh…

  1. If we’re talking about a higher being that isn’t God, then who? Aliens? Let’s play that game too, shall we?

    Well, there are wags such as the folks behind http://www.venganza.org who’re suggesting that higher being was a Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    And, of course, there’s The Onion’s too-close-to-true-to-be-really-funny-but-nonetheless-inspired article:
