Leaving Fundamentalism 
I’m seriously confused. The “Family Ness”?
Actually ROFLing here 😀
Deb: ACE teach that ‘Nessie’ is a plesiosaur, thus proving that humans and dinosaurs lived contemporaneously…
Oh, but Nessie isn’t real…I don’t even…*sigh*
But it’s in a book do it must be true. Also, Family-Ness is a documentary, so that proves it.
For anyone who doesn’t get the joke, you need to know two things:
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family-Ness
2) http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6019140
Ah, culture gap. I am American and we missed out on that little gem.
I nostalgia’d :DDD
Ha!
I’m pretty sure residual affection for the Family Ness was a major reason I was keen to embrace Creationism as a teenager.
I was mislead by the headline. And not thinking any absurdity is beyond these people … I don’t think you should run the risk of self-Poe.
Well, at the very least it made me and David laugh like a drain, so worth the risk in my view!
OMG you crack me up!
Love the Family Ness, I’ve had half the office singing along to the theme tune.
Bit after my time, that. My generation had Noah and Nelly. And I’d love to see ’em work those animals into their time-line…
Now that was bizarre.
No need to be derogatory. This is a reasonable explanation for the origin of piggy banks. Can you give me a better one? No, I thought not. You weren’t there when piggy banks were created, so how can you know?
Of course humans and dinosaurs lived together, the Flintstones had Dino. :-D~
Dammit, I was going to do that one next!
What about the old Godzilla cartoons with Gadzooki? (I’m kinda ashamed I remember those.)
You made me laugh thanks. But on a more serious note, they are also approving the fact that apartheid was good for south africa? Are the education board a bunch of racist idiots?
Where will the schooling system end up with faith based education allowed to propogate is what really scares me.
Well, the most obvious endorsements of apartheid have been removed from the curriculum, so what remains is a kind of equivocal condemnation of apartheid. Certainly ACE isn’t great, but I don’t know if you can call it outright racist. Overtly, ACE endorses integration and racial equality. There are some statements in the curriculum which I would argue treat non-white races as inferior, though.
