Evolution or Intelligent Design? Darwin's theory of evolution created bad fruit like EUGENICS which was responsible for the Holocaust and other genocides. Matt 7 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves... You can identify them by their fruit...A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. But go ahead let them feed it to our kids!
From JS - Eugenics was not responsible for the Holocaust, MP! Sheesh! An overly punitive Treaty of Versailles left the German people looking to a charismatic thug with a hatred of the Jews so they could feed their starving children.. THAT's what caused the Holocaust.Eugenics is completely misunderstood and is not in itself a bad thing. We can feed the world on ever-decreasing amounts of arable land thanks to eugenics.We need to grab beers soon so we can argue more on this. :)

So I asked my daughters six grade teacher what the school was teaching. Here is their reply.
Here is my orginal question: Just curious in science does the school district teach evolution or intelligent design theory?
From School Principal - I went to the district-level for the response:
Our district science curriculum is aligned with the Kansas Science Education Standards and Assessment and the National Science Education Standards. Evolution is not a topic included in the elementary level science curriculum. Natural selection, a concept within evolution, is studied in grade 7 science. One of the many curriculum concepts in the study of biology includes evolution, which is taken by students in either 9th or 10th grade. However, human evolution is not a part of our science curriculum. Intelligent design is not taught in the science curriculum.

My Reply Back -
Thank you Pat for the attention to this matter. I feel it is important for me as a parent to know what is being taught to my kids in these matters where politics and our government start to dictate what we teach our kids in matters that don’t get equal footing like in the evolution for versus intelligent design debate. I don’t think we can ever separate our faith life from our education life because at every second of the day we must have faith. Faith that the school will not collapse when my child is there, to faith that the teachers will show up for work each day. Again, thanks for your help and I am especially thankful for your call to teach my/our kids. What an important call that is!
