what kind of nonsense do they teach in christian schools?

Quote from Free Thinker:

you do know that bob jones university does many of the textbooks for christian schools and homeschoolers? i dont think the catholics use bob jones material.
you surely dont think that christian schools use standard textbooks? the reason christian schools exist is to censor what they dont believe. you know science based things like evilution.

Catholicism is part of Christianity.. and no christian schools don't exist solely to censor what they don't believe. in fact, i was taught about evolution, and convinced that it was the most logical theory about our creation, at a catholic school lol. You are making things up.. at the schools I attended, many foreign non-christians attended as well. Guess why?
 
Quote from gwb-trading:

I live in the South. and YES the Christian K-12 schools in the South use the EXACT SAME TEXTBOOKS as the public schools. (How are you going to teach AP and Honors courses if you do not use the material required to teach these courses for the tests?)

You are totally wrong about your assertions and the facts do not support your claims.

There are only a few outlying fundamentalist Christian schools and some right-wing homeschoolers using educational text books from Bob Jones University in the U.S. I will note that most of the fundamentalist Christian schools using these textbooks are not located in the South.

It would be nice for once if you actually had facts to back-up your claims.

show me the biology textbook for fundamentalist christian schools that includes teaching of evolution.

FT where do u dig this stuff up?

I attended private catholic school for at least 10 years of my life.. i don't recall ever reading or being taught ANY of the things you listed. I am also not religious at all. Find better sources dude, you simply believe and regurgitate anything that supports your 'view'.

You better separate out "Fundamentalist Christian Schools" as being the same thing as "Christian Schools". Only a tiny fractional portion of the "Christian Schools" in the U.S. are "Fundamentalist Christian Schools" (under 0.1%).

Your attempt to paint all Christian Schools in the U.S. as extremist facilities that do not teach evolution and re-write history is absurd. By the same standard we should claim that all Muslim schools in the U.S. are extremist because there are a tiny minority that teach extremist Muslim beliefs.

There is a huge difference when it comes to the southern baptist teachings. I have no idea what they teach in their schools but I do know the devout baptist adults are bat shit crazy.
 
Oddly Nothinker's binary thinking is allowed to stand.
He prints his small minded biggoted hatred almost everyday.


No thinker is the exact type of person he seems to despise. He just fipped from side of the fundamentalist spectrum to the other.

Most of the Christian schools in the U.S. South are associated with southern baptists. These schools use the same textbooks and educational material used in public schools. Many parents (even not Baptists) send their children to these Christian private schools because they vastly outperform the underfunded public schools in most Southern states - especially in rural areas. The Christian schools teach the same AP, Honors, and other courses taught in public schools with the benefit of smaller class sizes & better instruction - leading to higher graduation rates & university attendance.

I not a big fan of devout baptist adults myself with their lack of approval of alcohol, etc. ... but the schools supported by the baptists are not different than any other private K-12 school in the U.S. Trying to make the case that southern baptist Christian schools teach extreme beliefs and use non-factual textbooks is not correct.
 
If my memory is correct there weren't as many fundamentalist 30 years ago and they were considered nutty, even by the regular church goers. And this was in West Texas the buckle of the bible belt. Now there's a bible thumping fundamentalist every time you turn around.

Free Thinker claims to have been a catholic for 50 years. Then he said one day he read on the "internet" that God wasnt real. Imagine running a race for 50 years, and right when you are about to cross the finish line and get the winners trophy, you stop and start running the other way and trying to get everyone else to go the other way with you.
