BOGUS COURSE SELECTED OUT

Another lawsuit over a school teaching "Intelligent Design":

AP - Fresno, CA - 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 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, according to the federal lawsuit.

The class is taught by social studies teacher Sharon Lemburg, whose husband is an Assembly of God pastor...

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."

Classes started...with a class plan that relied solely on videos.

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."

Well, that sounds like a heck of a class - for a Sunday school. Sitting around watching religious (do you think they might be Christian?) videos "explaining" why evolution isn't legitimate, while a Pastor's wife (and social studies teacher) runs the VCR.

This is scary. Taxpayers dollars are funding this.

However, I do like the course description - they'll be using science and biology! And here I thought Biology was science the whole time. Guess I should take this class.
