	“Academic freedom is supposed to be the foundation of Iowa State University, yet Dr. Gonzalez was denied tenure there because of his support for intelligent design,” Eaton said. “Something is very wrong with the ISU administration, and as committed ISU alumni we have the responsibility to do what we can to fix it.” http://www.evolutionnews.org/ 2008/04/isu_alumni_band_ together_to_ra.html#more

Evolution Indoctrination in Education

Constitutional law permits “the teaching of scientific criticisms of prevailing scientific theories” in public schools.

But instead of being confident that students will embrace evolution as fact when exposed to all the claimed 'evidence' to support it, pro-evolution advocacy groups vehemently insist that absolutely NO discussion of the inconsistencies of evolution be allowed. In fact, most evolutionists are now demanding that word ‘theory’ be deleted because they don’t want to confuse students to think it’s not true.

The religion of Humanism http://www.americanhumanist.org/about/manifesto1.html has permeated the education system and any mention of God is outlawed, even when all the evidence points to Him.
See how the lies and indoctrination of evolution have penetrated public schools, colleges and universities, informal learning environments, and academic websites – And all in the name of ‘good science’:

Why was Who Is Your Creator listed under “Threats to Evolution Education” by the American Institute of Biological Sciences? (See PDF, scroll to ‘Minnesota.’)

We are complimented that they consider us a threat by displaying our billboard reading, “Everyone has an opinion on evolution. Read ours. Post yours.
http://www.whoisyourcreator.com/assets/images/PC050429.jpg.jpeg”
Isn’t it interesting that evolutionists don’t have enough confidence in their own theory and feel threatened that people might actually engage in an open discussion about it?

The Thought Police are coming to a college near you!

Ignoring ‘correct’ answers, professors now insist that their students must also profess complete allegiance to evolutionary thought:

In her Introduction to Human Genetics class at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minnesota, Priscilla Lundquist obediently wrote down the expected evolutionary answer for the following question:
Compare the following sequences. (Rat, chimp, human, rice, deer.) Which two organisms are the most closely related? Explain your answer.
In full accordance with evolutionary propaganda, she responded with, “The human and the chimp are supposedly the most closely related because their sequence here is the most similar.”
But, because she wrote on the side of the paper, “However, I believe that God created these species separately and what I just answered was a lie,“ Priscilla’s professor denied her credit. Only after pleading her case did she end up receiving full credit for her ‘correct’ answer.
In case you think this was an anomaly:
“I would have done the same. If a student of mine made a religious comment like that in a science test, they would get marked down for it. I do not accept people proselytising at me. Religion is personal, so keep it to yourself. It has no place in a science test.”

“This is one of the reasons why I would flunk them if they took biology and still rejected the core scientific principles. It's not good enough to just be able to mouth the "acceptable" version of the truth that the Professor wants.”
Larry Moran, Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto.”

All in the name of ‘good science,’ did you know that your children are learning misleading and outright false information?

Included are inaccurate drawings of embryos, false claims that the universe resulted from the Big Bang, life was created from non-life, gill slits and tails grow on human embryos, Peppered Moths and Darwin’s finches are proof of evolution, birds evolved from reptiles, horse fossils prove evolution, and the utterly false claim that genetic and fossil evidence prove humans evolved from apes. (The famous Australopithecus afarensis fossil named “Lucy” was finally and universally disproved as our predecessor in 2007.)

The new ‘scientific’ journal called “Evolution: Education and Outreach” claims to be the new tool for students of all ages. It presents the standard lies, relies on evolutionary philosophy instead of scientific facts, and its first book review includes ridiculous, foul, and inappropriate sexual content, regardless of the student’s age:

In “Book Review / Evolution in Action,” the journal highlights their favorite book on sex called “Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex” by Olivia Judson, an Oxford Ph.D. in evolutionary biology. Here’s an excerpt:
“For instance, at the start of chapter 6, “How to Make Love to a Cannibal,” she offers the following sensible advice. “Rule number one: Never get eaten during foreplay …
I’m a European praying mantis, and I’ve noticed I enjoy sex more if I bite my lovers’ heads off first. It’s because when I decapitate them they go into the most thrilling spasms. Somehow they seem less inhibited, more urgent—it’s fabulous. Do you find this too?” …
As she demonstrates with further examples, the central rationale behind “Rule Number One” is that, if one partner is eaten before fertilization (“during foreplay”), that partner will most likely not be able to transmit any genetic material to the next generation. After fertilization, of course, the situation is different.”

The medical school entrance examination (MCAT) now indoctrinates students within its reading comprehension section. Its tirade against any evolutionary skepticism is absolutely hilarious:

“Creationism is not science and doesn’t belong in the science classroom. However, a frank discussion of creationism with students is also important. To avoid it may suggest that perhaps there is something there, lurking in the irrationality.
The late Carl Sagan, one of the staunchest advocates of rationality and reason in the increasingly irrational and superstitious world in which we live, has defended the importance of good science teaching by saying, “In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, [science] may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.” … Creation science, despite the apparent oxymoron, is a phrase that has been widely used by creationists to add legitimacy to their claims by stating that creationism is a scientific theory just as much as evolution. … This extremely dangerous idea has been at the forefront of battles waged by so-called “creation-scientists” since the early 1970s… “

Universities and scientific organizations openly discriminate against, terminate and refuse tenure, employment and memberships to scientists, educators, and students who dissent from the religion of evolution:

• Professors and scientists cannot ‘come out’ and admit to not believing in evolution and must do research and write papers under aliases:
  “*Ira S. Loucks is a pseudonym. The writer, who holds a Ph.D. in a field related to the topic of this article, is a scientist at a prominent research facility in the eastern part of North America. He prefers to keep his creationist credentials hidden for the moment until he achieves more seniority.”

• “—the story of Don McDonald, who was forced to pledge allegiance to evolution while working on his sociology Ph.D., or he might not have been permitted to proceed onward with his dissertation.”
  http://www.evolutionnews.org/2007/12/dr_don_mcdonalds_persecution_s.html
  
• “Dr. Gonzalez was subjected to a secret campaign of vilification and ridicule by colleagues in the Department of Physics and Astronomy who explicitly wanted to get rid of him because of his pro-intelligent design views, not his scholarship.”

• “In a bold move, the little-known group Florida Citizens for Science are excommunicating all scientists who raise any concerns about neo-Darwinism from the "scientific community.” … Proposed standards for seventh-graders, for example, would require that students should be able to "recognize and describe that fossil evidence is consistent with the idea that human beings evolved from earlier species."”
  http://www.evolutionnews.org/2007/10/florida_citizens_for_science_e.html
  
• “A new report from the U.S. House of Representatives has condemned officials at the Smithsonian Institution for imposing a religious test on scientists who work there. And it suggests their attacks on a scientist who just edited an article on intelligent design are just the tip of the iceberg of an industry-wide fear of anything that suggests man might not have come from a puddle of sludge.” http://www.evolutionnews.org/2006/12/the_house_government_reform_su.html

• “San Francisco State University decided that Professor Dean Kenyon, a leading national authority in chemical evolutionary theory, was no longer suited to teach introductory biology. Why? Allegedly because he exposed students to points of dispute among scientists on macro-evolutionary theory and to the fact that a number of biologists admit to the existence of evidence for intelligent design in the universe.”
  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34700
  
• “Dr. Abraham, a postdoctoral researcher in fish development at Woods Hole in Massachusetts, was let go in 2004 when he told his supervisor that he did not accept evolution. He was met by the comment that his beliefs of biological origins were incompatible with his position, and that he should resign or be fired.”

• “Mississippi University for Women asked Professor Nancy Bryson to resign as head of the Division of Science and Mathematics because she taught students the scientific flaws in Darwinian thought.”

Christian schools in Sweden are now forced to indoctrinate their children with the religion of evolution:

“This week in Sweden, according to “The Local” (an English-language Swedish news agency), the centre-right coalition government decided to ban biology teachers from teaching creationism or intelligent design alongside evolution in independent schools, which includes Christian schools. There is already such a ban in place in its state government schools (called public schools in the U.S.) …
While an independent school is privately owned, it receives a grant from the government, which can then determine the school’s curriculum.”
http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2007/10/18/swedes-ban-creationism

The Council of Europe passed Resolution #1580 warning that creationism is dangerous and could possibly spread into education:

“Nevertheless, the Parliamentary Assembly is worried about the possible ill-effects of the spread of creationist ideas within our education systems and about the consequences for our democracies. If we are not careful, creationism could become a threat to human rights, which are a key concern of the Council of Europe …
There is a real risk of serious confusion being introduced into our children’s minds between what has to do with convictions, beliefs, ideals of all sorts and what has to do with science. An “all things are equal” attitude may seem appealing and tolerant, but is in fact dangerous.”
What is really appalling is that they have even rewritten history in hopes they can dupe people into thinking that evolution has always been the mainstay of public thought:
“Creationism, born of the denial of the evolution of species through natural selection, was for a long time an almost exclusively American phenomenon. Today creationist ideas are tending to find their way into Europe and their spread is affecting quite a few Council of Europe member states.”
http://assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=/Documents/AdoptedText/ta07/ERES1580.htm

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) strongly advises schools and teachers not to discuss any inconsistencies in Darwinism.

When schools stray from evolution, NCSE threatens expensive lawsuits and, when that doesn’t work, they send in the ACLU. Who is the NCSE? It’s just a pro-evolution advocacy group that is fully and well funded by evolutionists. Their web site states, “Defending the Teaching of Evolution in the Public Schools” and they boldly solicit members to “monitor” and “inform” NCSE if schools, libraries, museums, parks, etc. have any “anti-evolution efforts.”
http://www.natcenscied.org/25_ways.asp

NCSE Director, Eugenie Scott, even suggests that doctoral candidates with creationist views should be discriminated against because such students “would require so much remedial instruction it would not be worth my time.” Such ignorance and bias is inexcusable.

Instead of winning students over by finding some actual facts or evidence that might prove evolution occurs, the new tactic is to brainwash them into thinking that evolution good for the ‘collective.’

“Wilson, a distinguished professor of biological sciences with a joint appointment in anthropology at Binghamton University, is convinced that evolution can become more widely accepted once its consequences for human welfare are appropriately understood.
"When evolution is presented as unthreatening, explanatory, and useful, it can be easily grasped and appreciated by most people, regardless of their religious or political beliefs and without previous training," says Wilson.”

Another pro-evolution advocacy group, Alliance for Science, ran an essay contest that pitted high school students against their parents and doctors.

Alliance for Science asked students to write an essay on, “Why would I want my doctor to have studied evolution.” Not only does this indoctrinate children, it also urges children to question parental decisions.
http://www.allianceforscience.org/essay_winners.html All of the winners (including a 9th grade student) receive an annual subscription of SEED Magazine, which is known for its obsession with homosexuality. SEED is NOT considered a ‘scientific’ magazine and it’s puzzling that this type of publication would be selected other than using it to promote a social agenda.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is another pro-evolution advocacy group and they have decided to change tactics so that your children will feel emotionally better about believing in evolution:

During the February 2008 AAAS symposium, evolutionary biologist Kenneth Miller, announced to evolutionists that they need to win back the hearts of the people by telling them evolution is now based on design, not randomness after all:
“'The idea that there is 'design' in nature is very appealing,' Miller said. 'People want to believe that life isn't purposeless and random. That's why the intelligent design movement wins the emotional battle for adherents despite its utter lack of scientific support.
'To fight back, scientists need to reclaim the language of 'design' and the sense of purpose and value inherent in a scientific understanding of nature,' he said.”
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080217143838.htm

After its 2006 National Conference, AAAS unveiled several new strategies for promoting the teaching of evolution in schools. Their most successful plan was urging teachers to use the word ‘science’ instead of ‘evolution’ because, the more often people hear the word ‘science,’ the more people will associate evolution as being scientific. (Repeat a lie long enough and people will believe it.)

One of the most serious threats to education is coming from colleges and universities that will not allow credit for Christian based biology courses NOT based on evolution!

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is currently involved in a lawsuit against the University of California (UC) for ‘viewpoint and content discrimination.’ A UC spokeswoman claims that their requirements were established to “ensure that students who come here are fully prepared with broad knowledge and the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed.”

Enjoy your family vacation but prepare your children for the tales of evolution.

Almost without exception, informal learning environments such as National and State Parks, museums, and family entertainment centers such as Disney and Epcot are indoctrinating attendees with naturalistic explanations for geology and life sciences.

At the Grand Canyon National Park bookstore, evolutionists are having a fit over just ONE book that gives a biblical account of the canyon’s creation. Referring to A Different View and its ‘potential threat to science,’ the Director of PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility) stated that, "…this is equivalent of Yellowstone National Park selling a book entitled Geysers of Old Faithful: Nostrils of Satan.”

How ironic that park employees were the ones that initiated a censorship effort, not parents or patrons!
