First, the Institute for Creation Research Filed Suit Against State. Now, The Essay.
 |
As a result, college-level science education in Texas is now muzzled by Texas governmental censorship, a situation that interferes with both academic freedom, the right of a school to teach any subject from its own institutional viewpoint; and interstate commerce, the right of a school outside Texas to recruit and teach Texas residents. ...
Of course, the controversy is not unique to ICR's graduate school. Scientists and professors who are Christians, and even non-Christian academics, continue to face persecution from science censors. Ben Stein's Expelled documentary in 2008 clearly demonstrated that even highly-qualified scientists in secular institutions are facing various forms of expulsion simply because they question "recognized" Darwinian beliefs and the tenets of evolutionary science.

Satan has stooped to creationism to disclaim the misinformed! That's right, if you are trying to make people categorically ignorant than you are the Devil yourself. Watch out Darwinists, your proof is more and more fundamentally deniable in times of great economic despair.

Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 22 2009 @ 4:10PMSo Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) is the only accreditor of ICR's Santee school *waves off a foul odor*, which has in turn been recognized by the US Dept. of Education and CHEA since 1991 *wrinkles nose because of the smell*. However, Henry Morris, who founded ICR, sat as chairman on the TRACS board at the time *gags a little*...thanks now Sen. of Tennessee Lamar Alexander (who recognized TRACS as Sec. of Education, despite many peer concerns)!*gags again*...and where is that horrible snake oil aroma coming from!?!

Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 22 2009 @ 4:30PMThese guys understand neither the Bible nor Science. For what would be accredited, rationalizations?

Fun part of the suite, is they don't even understand the definition of censorship and discrimination.
It not censorship or discrimination to block someone from teaching 2+2=5. Stupid may not be illegal, but it's not entitled to equal protection either.
Hey, check out the GOP's Chair for the State Board of Education, Don McLeroy, thinks the world is only 6,000 years old, that should help bring a lot of high tech businesses to Texas.
