Should every perspective (including creationism) be taught so no one is indoctrinated? Yes.

Let's stop teaching gravity

MUH GRAVITY! a globehead just exploded

Should every perspective (including creationism) be taught so no one is indoctrinated? Yes.

There's an infinite number of perspectives.
We know creationism is wrong, so why teach it?

You might as well teach alchemy along with chemistry so 'nobody is indoctrinated' or invisible smurf forces along with gravity. At best it's a waste of time for people who deserve a serious education, at worst it seriously misguides them.

Should every perspective (including creationism) be taught so no one is indoctrinated? Yes.

No, only the ones with reasonable scientific data. So creationism or flat-earth theories should NOT be taught, because they are wrong.

Should every perspective (including creationism) be taught so no one is indoctrinated? Yes.

Yes, since they can learn how baseless such things really are.

I like your optimism, but unfortunately people are stupid and pick up many baseless things.

They would not if they were taught on what little ground they stand on contrasted to the evilution.

those (along with the spaghetti monster) are more analogies to show how baseless Abraham's faiths are.

Thought-policing?
How about being anti-indoctrination

You want to enforce one point of view and ban all opposing points. Sounds like indoctrination to me.

Us normal people can say Creationism without shitting our pants.

But you're apparently scared enough of it that you have to ban it.


In any case. I still hold that neither creationism or evolution should be banned. Let people decide for themselves which they want to believe.

You wanna know what's baseless? Arguing about religion.

When I am saying Evolution I am referring to one animal changing into another.

Wtf did you get taught in school? I'm genuinely curious. Do you really think that's what evolution-theory is?

and this is why we need gulags

@Tabby Great idea.

"You want to enforce one point of view and ban all opposing points. Sounds like indoctrination to me. "

Your logic is fucked.

Enforcing one point of view would be a teacher that walks into a classroom and stating, "God is a fallacy. Anyone who believes otherwise is a moron and does not deserve to pass this class.".

No one's asking Science Class to include anti-religious sentiment. They're requesting religious beliefs not be intermixed with actual Science.

Creationism is not Science, therefore it has no place in a Science class. This pretty fucking basic.

Opting to not teach things that have no scientific evidence is not indoctrination. Teaching them is. Teaching them also takes time away from other subjects which should be being taught instead.

Maybe in a lore and history class, or as a side note when teaching evolution

Let's ban opposite views and teach children our point of view but WOHOHOOHOHOWOHOWOHWOH Its not indoctrination! It's the right way....

Are you trolling or stupid?

Scratch that, let me rephrase.

You're definitely stupid. Are you also trolling?

I find it hard to believe that anyone can't tell the difference between a law that bans creationism being taught and Indoctrination.

By definition, science cannot be indoctrination.

"the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically."

That's the definition of indoctrination. If something isn't critical, it isn't Science. That's the problem. Everything in Science has supporting evidence, creationism does not.

Yes, lets quote Nazis to back up Atheism, that's totally a logical way to make something look reasonable.

Like, seriously, your post is something a sock puppet who is actually rallying against atheism by pretending to be an atheist would post.

Utter nonsense. National Socialism might as well be a religion. It's the same type of indoctrination. Same goes for any form of nationalism.

You seem very confused. You lash out against religion, yet propagate similar views.Religion is the #1 cause of racism and fear/hatred of those different than oneself.

You propagate the hatred without the underlying cause.

I'm certainly never going to "learn" to be a bigot.

I don't care what race, religion, sex, social class, etc. a person is. A person is just a person. I'll take it a step further too: I don't care if someones related to me. They're still just a person. Not only do I not hold views that favor Americans over the rest of the world, I do not even favor my relatives over the rest of Americans or the rest of the world. Individuals earn the right to be respected or favored over others through their actions, not as an inherent benefit of some aspect of their background.

If I respect someone it's because they achieved something that impressed me, not because of some underlying trait about them that isn't even in their control.
