Churches Should Have to Teach Science!
I am tired of churches lobbying to pass laws that force schools to teach their religion in science classes. Sure we can fight their efforts again and again, but it is time we go on the offense. It is time we start pushing laws that force churches to teach the science at least once a month.
I know there is a separation of church and state and that this would be a clear violation of that principle, but most of these religious believers don’t accept this principle. So I don’t see the problem.
We can push this law on the federal level, the state level, the county level, and even on a township level. Could you imagine what would happen if some small town passed an ordinance in which all the churches in that town had to bring in a qualified science educator to teach evolution or climate change one Sunday a month?
If a bully keeps punching you in the face, sometimes it only takes one punch back to make the bully stop being a bully. I am tired of Creationists bullying the public schools. It is time to give them a taste of their own medicine.
