EDUCATION?

"Traditional schools The school, where students spend three hours a day dancing, playing music or performing, also graduated a rare 91 percent of its students on time in 2005, according to the Children at Risk calculation. "I never thought I would drop out because I knew I wanted to go to college," said Erica Soto, a senior. "But I do feel more motivated to go to school when theater isn't just an elective." Most of the high schools in the top 10 are more traditional." Houston Chronicle

With the current push towards situation based ethic and mass social controls, I'm feel sorry for the parents who have to deal with the current educational system. I encourage every parent to become active in the ongoing campaign to turn the school system back toward Godly principles.

Green Light for Institute on Creation in Texas

HOUSTON — A Texas higher education panel has recommended allowing a Bible-based group called the Institute for Creation Research to offer online master’s degrees in science education.
The action comes weeks after the Texas Education Agency’s director of science, Christine Castillo Comer, lost her job after superiors accused her of displaying bias against creationism and failing to be “neutral” over the teaching of evolution.
The state’s commissioner of higher education, Raymund A. Paredes, said late Monday that he was aware of the institute’s opposition to evolution but was withholding judgment until the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board meets Jan. 24 to rule on the recommendation, made last Friday, by the board’s certification advisory council.
Henry Morris III, the chief executive of the Institute for Creation Research, said Tuesday that the proposed curriculum, taught in California, used faculty and textbooks “from all the top schools” along with, he said, the “value added” of challenges to standard teachings of evolution.
“Where the difference is, we provide both sides of the story,” Mr. Morris said. On its Web site, the institute declares, “All things in the universe were created and made by God in the six literal days of the creation week” and says it “equips believers with evidences of the Bible’s accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework.”
It also says “the harmful consequences of evolutionary thinking on families and society (abortion, promiscuity, drug abuse, homosexuality and many others) are evident all around us.”
