> (AP) A leaked memo from the office of Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has shed light on what is sure to be an extremely controversial bill from the House Education Committee.

>The bill, referred to in the memo as the "Protection of Parental Rights in Education Act", or PPREA, is still in its rough draft. The bill would, according to the memo, reserve the right for any parent to 'remove their child from any educational environment' which 'conflicts with the moral or religious views of the parent.'

>The memo makes several references to the ongoing debate concerning the teaching of the theory of evolution versus creationist beliefs in science. The memo also refers to sex education, and the presence of homosexuals in schools, both in the student body and in school faculties.

>The bill would force schools to make accommodations for every single parent who has a moral or religious objection to any form of 'educational environment,' or the school district would find itself open to a lawsuit.

Except evolution isn't the truth as we know it. It's a theory, and it's definitely a solid theory that makes a lot of sense, but we have no conclusive proof of it. The fossil records do not show a clear gradation from species to species, especially not for humans. Teaching evolution as an established fact is just as intellectually dishonest as teaching young-earth creationism as an obejective fact.

Parents should have a right to educate their own child in a way they see fit. Not everyone wants to have the government dictating the majority of their child's learning.

>The bill would, according to the memo, reserve the right for any parent to 'remove their child from any educational environment' which 'conflicts with the moral or religious views of the parent.'

Nope.
Nopenoepnoep.
Kill it.

Degeneracy at its finest right here, the parents beliefs should never be forced on a child. That is called indoctrination, and it is the source of almost all modern degeneracy.

Be it modern feminision, homo sex cultre, religions, or any other form of extremist. Almost all of this can be tracked down to parents indoctrinating children.

You sicken me /pol/.
Being a parent does not give you a free pass to indoctrinate a child into certain beliefs.

>>17178524
>It's just state-sponsored brainwashing at this point.
>at this point

It was always state sponsored brainwashing. Carnegie and other capitalists got in on it too, to destroy free thinking and mold children into more obedient factory workers. That's why they pushed the Prussian model.

The worst part about this is, THEY WERE COMPLETELY OPEN ABOUT THEIR GOALS.

Everything is a theory. Gravity is a theory. Atoms are a theory. Electricity is a theory. Classic and quantum physics are theories, and we don't know how to unite the two even though they should fit together some how. And yet, we built computers and cars and planes and fucking spaceships, all on theories.

Evolution is a logical theory derived from secular observations of our environment. Therefore its sound and should be taught in schools.

Creationism spits in the face of everything that's science because it makes an irrational hypothesis based on pure conjecture and then tries to shoehorn actual environmental observations into a theory that fits the hypothesis. It doesn't belong in classrooms.

The bill is confirming the already existing right of parents to remove their children from school when a class is teaching something they disagree with.

"Accommodations" is as simple as sitting the child in the school library while the class is taught.

However, I do agree with you that parents should just homeschool their children altogether. Focusing on hot-button issues like sex education or evolution in biology class is a type of forum slide to distract parents from what their children learn EVERY DAY in history classes that is just entirely wrong. Remember Holocaust history month? Every fucking year?
>>
>>17179207
>you should be taught facts

1. Teaching only select facts, which is what schools do, is also a form of indoctrination. When you only feed people bits and pieces of the whole, they often times are led to incorrect conclusions

2. Schools do far more than just get "facts". You are taught that you should trust cops more than your fellow citizens. You are taught that all races are equal. You are taught things that outright untrue--like that the bulk of diet should consist of grains, and that dairy is important for nutrition.


But most importantly, you indoctrinated into blind obedience, mindless regurgitation of anything authority says to you, and absolute reverence for the state.

Fucking idiot.
Facts are not beliefs, I don't care if I 'dislike' the fact (Not that I can think of a fact that I dislike), it is still a fact. It is still what reality is. It should be taught.

Teaching facts and scientific/free thinking should be the ONLY thing taught to children. Not faith based beliefs. Not that they want to actually me a transgender child. Not that a sky daddy loves them. Facts.

>Explain to me why the government should be allowed to decide what children learn
Children should be taught facts. If the gubment is doing that, then there is no issue with that. This entire bill is based around pulling children out of a school for unrelated reasons.

>>17179981
>1. Teaching only select facts, which is what schools do, is also a form of indoctrination.

Indoctrination.
But this bill has nothing to do with this, at all. It doesn't give you a way to object to this.

But the vast majority of christfags, feminists, homos, and other extrimists are public schooled.

Meanwhile, a much large proportion of a wealthy business owners, noble prize winning scientists, and successful doctors, were schooled in private institutions.
>>
>>17179771
>And if the (poor) parents aren't qualified to give him a proper education?
There are homeschooling communities all throughout the USA that help parents in areas where they feel deficient. But any literate parent is qualified to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic.

>If homeschooling is all that is available, your child will only ever be at MOST as educated as the parent.
College exists, and homeschooled children NEVER have problems passing the high school equivalency exams. You can't find a single example of a homeschooled child failing to get a GED and going to college if they want to.

>Most of the working poor already barely get by with two incomes, where they gonna find the time to school their children without public schools?
That's an almost entirely separate matter, but the simple answer is they cut back on expenses, balance their budget, and the mother or father who makes the least quits their job to stay at home and raise their children. There's no excuse for needing two incomes when there's so many welfare benefits in America today for households with children.

You do know that home schooled kids have more economic and scholastic success than ones educated in public school.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505145_162-37242551/can-homeschoolers-do-well-in-college/

http://www.usnews.com/education/high-schools/articles/2012/06/01/home-schooled-teens-ripe-for-college

Lets put it this way. I'm a geologist and religious, only faggot subgroups of evangelicals have a problem with evolution. But at the same time public school pushes propaganda about racial and sexual egalitarianism, which I later found out to be demostrably false.

Frankly if I had to have a kid learn about evolution in his college biology course vs him still believing egalitarianism after college I would choose the former. I easily convinced several evangelicals that evolution was no problem and no natural phenomena could actually conflict with belief in the supernatural.

The only person I have ever convinced that racial egalitarianism is false was my wife. Even my father refuses to accept the data on the grounds that it disturbs him and my arguments if correct might be used against the less intelligent demographics I identified.

Religious believes can readily chance due to divination or theological discussion. Political ideals and values are much harder to change, especially those held by leftists.

So you're against the government teaching tons of classes full of outright lies and disinfo, right?

Look, before you argue about this any more, you need to make sure you're clear on what facts are, what indoctrination is, and on the history of compulsory government education. I understand that you're against religious fundamentalism and that you hate the idea of religious parents passing on their beliefs. But you need to stop defending the government at any step in this argument because the government is objectively the bad guy here.

Let me just put it in plain terms. If you defend the government's compulsory education scheme AT ALL, then you're a filthy statist.

And if the parents aren't literate? Or never even got their HS equivalency themselves? Or are immigrants? Even my white middle class parents could never have educated me to even second year HS level in math and science. Try going to college for a stem degree knowing only how to add multiply and divide, you'll be in for a rude awakening for sure.

>You can't find a single example of a homeschooled child failing to get a GED and going to college if they want to.

Selection bias. Everyone who homeschools their kids currently have the financial and other resources available to do so. If they don't, they go to public school.

>but the simple answer is they cut back on expenses, balance their budget, and the mother or father who makes the least quits their job to stay at home and raise their children

You obviously have no clue what its like to be poor. You honestly think a poor dual-earning family can just budget-out a huge portion of their income?

The funny thing about public schools is that yes they are indoctrination machines but they also give you the tools to identify and see through the manipulation. So its a wash for me, and I'd rather have an educated, if politically/historically biased populace than an ignorant and (still) biased one

No, oh god you really can't be this retarded can you? People who ascribe to that philosophy have birthrates that are far below replacement level. They often ascribe to philosophies that value non-human interests, like current evironmentalism rather than merely attempting to preserve a desirable environmental condition.

Let me give you an example: http://pastebin.com/zp79qR2v

I have presented this plan which is possible without soft scifi bullshit to secular humanists and they found it reprehensible. Despite it being a viable survival strategy that doesn't require a conserted effort on the part of humanity. A few states, corporations, clans, or even individuals could see it carried out. Because all it takes on party to start it and it is so easy.

Secular humanists prioritize feelings and emotions over survival. I am a human supremacist but I will never be a humanist of any streak. It correlates with maladaptive behavior every fucking time.


>enlightenment-era europe
The Enlightenment and Renaissance named themselves those by those titles, rather than them being assigned later as descriptors. In truth both did very little for science, industry, or other material interests. The names they gave themselves are pure self aggrandizement, much like the term "free-thinker" which I already ridiculed".

Go ahead, keep swallowing their bullshit. Keep thinking that happiness and other faggot crap matters more than survival and propagation. Your line will slowly peter out unless you have at least 41 5th generation descendants, you need that many to cover for possible losses.
