Website urges teachers to undermine creationism

As if evolution promotion was not getting any stronger. Teachers in California are urged to challenge student's religious beliefs while promoting evolution. Of course this happens all the time on a college level by individual professors. Why should children be challenged for their faith in God by public school teachers?

A government-funded website in California is promoting harmony between religion and evolution. Christians have filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court against the website.

According to a Pacific Justice Institute press release, the website is urging public school teachers to "challenge [their] students' religious beliefs that evolution contradicts their faith." Lower courts have sided with the schools so far, according to PJI attorney Brad Dacus, who is taking the case to the nation's high court.

"[This lawsuit comes] after unsuccessfully stopping the University of California-Berkeley from continuing a program that is all about training teachers to undermine children with traditional religious beliefs about creation, and instead actually persuading them theologically why evolution is correct," he explains.

Dacus believes the state of California is funding a campaign against religion. "This lawsuit is all about funding a program that is outright anti-religious -- and that is a clear violation of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause as well as the free exercise of religion," he points out.

Public school teacher need not worry about a child's faith. Real faith in God will be tested regardless of a state mandated indoctrination of atheism. This movement shows the ostentatious audacity of some militant atheist.
