Calif. School Sued Over Evolution Class

FRESNO, Calif. -- A rural high school teaching a religion-based alternative to evolution was sued Tuesday by a group of parents who said the class should be stopped because it violates the U.S. Constitution.
Frazier Mountain High School in Lebec violated the separation of church and state while attempting to legitimize the theory of "intelligent design" by introducing it as a philosophy class taught by a minister's wife, according to the federal lawsuit filed by parents of 13 students.
"The course was designed to advance religious theories on the origins of life, including creationism and its offshoot, 'intelligent design,'" the lawsuit said. "Because the teacher has no scientific training, students are not provided with any critical analysis of this presentation."
The lawsuit was filed by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which successfully blocked Dover, Pa., schools last month from using science courses to advance the theory that living things are so complex they must have been designed by a higher being.
Similar battles are being fought in Georgia and Kansas over the controversial subject.
An initial course description sent to parents in December said it would examine "evolution as a theory and will discuss the scientific, biological, and Biblical aspects that suggest why Darwin's philosophy is not rock solid."
The El Tejon district's Board of Trustees approved the course 3-2 with a revised syllabus in a Jan. 1 session, during which board members had to vote up or down on the entire winter session curriculum.
Classes started two days later with a class plan that relied solely on videos, not guest speakers.
The Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State said that with one exception the course "relies exclusively on videos that advocate religious perspectives and present religious theories as scientific ones."
The lawsuit filed on behalf of 11 parents seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the four-week class in its second week.

Ok, so the problem I have with this is that liberals..ACLU et all were "up in arms" because this was being presented as part of science curriculum in Dover, PA...so now in California its being presented as an elective and part of a "philosphy" class which would be the proper forum based on the shrill whining of liberals.
So now..they have a problem with it, which reveals the whole agenda
The agenda of liberals is to lie about their motives in the beginning to get a foothold on the issue, then completely attack and rip it apart with no regard for the consequences of them doing so...which is why liberals should not be allowed to alter ANY of our bill of rights..ie the 2nd amendment.
I said it before .. I Say it again .. 2 words for you liberal red diaper doper babies
SCREW YOU

So its kind of like the conservative agenda to "save" public education through vouchers??

You completely miss the point of what I wrote and instead come up with a different issue to sidetrack the issue. Nice try but no cigar.
If you want to address the issues, please do so :)

I'm sorry I thought hypocrisy was the issue. Nice dodge though
Joe
There was no inference to the vouchers issue in my comments, but if you want to raise the issue that what I had to say is a hypocricy issue with the vouchers, then please, state your case and facts.
