As we all know by now, Louisiana is experimenting with freeing their
children from the tyranny of the Government Schools, and will soon,
maybe, start spending public school funds on vouchers for kids to attend any private school their parents want (unless it’s an Islammy school, of course). And as we also all know, this will open the door to public funds being spent on some rather innovative “science” curricula.
The hippie freaks at Mother Jones
ran a fine story detailing some of the fun stuff to be found in
textbooks published for the Christian School and homeschool market.
Sure, the Earth is 6000 years old and The Flintstones is
biologically accurate, but that’s old hat. Let’s get beyond Creationism
and see how Christianists teach other subjects! For instance, early
20th-Century history:
“[The Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross. Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians.” — United States History for Christian Schools, 3rd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 2001
