Creationists lose round in textbook sticker fight
the school board has been ordered to remove the stickers immediately
This is what worries me. Remove them – how? You might damage the book cover! And who is going to remove them exactly? The same crack team of sticker-people who put them on in the first place? They better get going, they’ve got to do it ‘immediately’ – which means NOW, people! (Are you allowed to use your fingernails to peel them off? It’s a tough call.)
In case you can’t remember or couldn’t be bothered to click on the link, this was the infamous ‘evolution is just a theory’ sticker in Georgia’s science books. Some people objected to the truth – preferring the ‘alternate idea’, also known as a lie, of ‘intelligent design’. If there really was an intelligent designer, he would have marked the science books in permanent ink or something, rather than a lousy sticker.
*New page alert!*
Check out my new little work of art, If Dell Sold Religion. I like to think it combines my two favourite topics: computers and ‘faith’.
Media Bullet was one of the first Freeview sites I ever visited. I can’t remember how long ago I subscribed to their weekly newsletter. They were simple, fast and always accurate with their news, and in the early days of Freeview there was a constant stream of new info and scoops.
Up until tonight, I ranked Media Bullet second after Digital Spy in my Freeview Links, which is still the most useful page on this site to most visitors.
Media Bullet is now closed – so thanks guys, and good luck in the future.
Oh, how could I not post about this!
The thing that gets me, and I mean really gets me, is that the name of the fancy dress party was ‘Colonials and Natives’. I mean, hello? How much more evidence do we need that these people are not worthy for employment, let alone represent the country. And this time it’s not some mad Uncle. We’re talking about the guy who is third in line to the throne, attending a party in a fascist uniform.
How ironic that people beat up on the working class chavs who, while not being a haven of tolerance and respect, would probably draw the line at swastikas.
At the stupid new policy of forcing you to wear uniform on Progress Review Day.
And on a serious note – this is the only way to do protests. Have fun, it’ll work better than being boring and rude.
