Lawsuit filed in Kansas to block climate change, evolution curriculum

Citizens for Objective Public Education are at it again in Kansas to block any school curriculum that teaches climate change or evolution.
In what is probably a huge waste of public money needed to defend against this group in what has been described as a frivolous law suite that will fail miserably.
Maybe they should just change their name from Citizens for Objective Public Education to Citizens Who Want Stupid Children.

How anyone past fifty could not recognize the world is getting hotter is beyond me. Massive stupidity and head in the sand attitude.
Evolution requires at least a little education to recognize.

You have just shown two ways to make a child stupid. One is, don't teach him anything. The second is two teach him something that is not true. Thanks for clearing this up but your way takes wasting tax money or in your case to brain wash our kids.

Wait just one moment here Frank, you're using Fox News as a source???? I guess if a source you bash has an article you agree with, then it's valid.

The lawsuit does not attempt to do that. You may wish to re-read the article you linked to. 8-)

Since 1800 the Earth has warmed a total of 1.3°. Perhaps you should read an impartial article:

The "humans at fault for global warming" debate is far from settled.

You mean the earth is really more than 6300 years old? And man didn't coexist with dinosaurs? :)

Must we go there? Christians do not believe that the earth is 6,300 years old. Where do you atheist get that idea from? As for man coexisting with dinosaurs, that is an unknown. At some point in time that could have been a possibility but not as you perceive it to be. It would be what you consider a dinosaurs to be.

That's silly. How can anyone not believe that a grain of sand turned into a living cell which turned into a fish which turned into a snake which turned into a lizard which turned into a monkey which turned into a man with NO intelligent design??? What fool does not believe that Darwin's THEORY is NOT fact???
So there is NO scientific proof? So WHAT??? So there is not ONE fossil among the millions of fossils on the earth that shows any transitional species? So WHAT?
Evolution should be taught as FACT to our children. There is NO proof but they must have FAITH that we all evolved by accident. We developed sight and hearing and touch and our brains by ACCIDENT.
How STUPID do you have to be to not believe that???

Perhaps because the historical RECORDS don't support that?
Back in the 70's we had a couple of very cold winters. The "scientists" told us the polar glaciers were growing. Time and Newsweek had cover stories saying "The New Ice Age" was coming.
We were all going to freeze and New York City was going to be buried in ice.
Now those SAME "scientists" who never had a real job and live off government grants, are telling us the glaciers are MELTING, we're all going to fry from the heat and then drown. NYC will be under 20 feet of water.
Of course the GOVERNMENT CAN SAVE US!! ALL we have to do is drive what they tell us to drive, let the government dictate our power usage, eat what they tell us to eat, carry our groceries in the type of bag the government says to use, let the government tell us how we bar b que, mow our lawns or smoke in our own home (unless it's pot).
When the "scientists" were confronted with the facts not backing up their claims they suddenly changed global warming to "climate change". After all, who could say that climate doesn't change.
THE SKY IS FALLING and it's YOUR fault and if you don't believe that then you are "stupid" or "ignorant". TRUST the government. The government wouldn't lie to you. If you disagree with the left wing then you MUST be stupid because they are the elite and you are stupid rednecks who are confused with silly ol' facts.
