Louisiana Citizens Attack The State’s Proposed Biology Textbooks. Why Do Atheists Care What Others Believe?


A group of Louisiana citizens, believed to be backed by the conservative Christian Louisiana Family Forum, are attacking the state’s proposed biology textbooks because, well, they teach too much evolution.
The Baton Rouge Advocate reported this week that a state panel is scheduled to review the issue Friday after the state’s school board held off adopting the biology I and biology II textbooks due to the complaints.
Winston White, one of the residents who complained about the books, said, “It’s like Charles Darwin and his theory is a saint. You can’t touch it.”
It’s worth noting that White is the son of Darrell White, who was one of the Louisiana Family Forum founders. This move is all part of an ongoing broader strategy, one that the LFF, which is affiliated with Focus on the Family, has been behind since the beginning.
Darrell White also told the Advocate that the textbooks don’t comply with the anti-evolution law known as the “Louisiana Science Education Act,” which the Family Forum helped write and successfully lobbied for in 2008. The LSEA instructs educators to promote “critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.” It also allows teachers and school districts to use “supplemental textbooks,” which are just code words for creationist and pro-intelligent design materials.
Barbara Forrest, a philosophy professor at Southeastern Louisiana University, co-founder of Louisiana Citizens for Science and one of the creationist movement’s most damning critics, said she believes the complaints are merely a tactic to get disclaimers (Warning: These books teach evolution!) added to the textbooks, or pave the way for the inclusion of creationist supplemental materials.
Other people who lodged complaints said they did so because the books didn’t teach intelligent design.
In written comments to state officials, David Mathers, of West Monroe, said he would “like to see intelligent design explained as an alternate theory to the theory of evolution.”
Curt Eberts, of Monroe, made the same point. He faulted a biology textbook he reviewed for lacking material on the concept of intelligent design.

Hypothetical Question: Could Lsiam Be The Nwo?


I have been thinking about this. The NWO is the theory that we are heading for a one world government. Islam is poised for world domination in a very years (if you don’t think so, you need to google world religion statistics). Islam is not JUST a religion; it is a comprehensive political, social, and economic system with its own authoritarian legal framework – sharia, which aspires to govern all aspects of life. (In fact, France has now refused to recognize it as a religion; they now categorize it as a political system.)
In researching the Imam Rauf, there is evidence that he and many other prominent Muslims have ties to or are affiliated with many “globalist” organizations, so it is not as out of the realm of possibility as I thought it was.
It also seems more feasible when the Cordoba Initiative, connected with these globalist organizations, is trying to perpetrate the idea that Islam, Christianity and Judaism are actually the same religion (in summary). That then makes sense of the Imam’s remark that he is “a Muslim, a Jew and a Christian.” If this idea can be advanced, a conversion to Islam will not be met with the resistance it surely would be.
So, hypothetically-speaking, could Islam be the NWO? Did it ever say anywhere that it would not be a religion? To me, that actually makes sense. Throughout history, religion has been the best way to control people, hasn’t it?
