Yeah… I know, right?
But he is. He’s mad that someone would dare challenge his homeskool currickulum with a proper course on evolution and science. In a post entitled, simply, WARNING, he begins,
Washington State University (WSU), using funding from the National Science Foundation, has produced an evolutionary biology curriculum targeted at homeschool families. The curriculum, called Lessons in Evolutionary Biology, is available for free online and includes lessons and activities for pre-school through twelfth grade.
How.dare.they?
I mean, I doubt that they even consider the Loch Ness monster as a sign of proof of Young Earth Creationism. I mean, sure, they have facts and Ham doesn’t even have a real good clue on what Scripture says or what science actually is, but dang it. Just dang it.
Oh, and for those who homeschool, it actually looks like a solid thing.
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

So … they used their funding to produce educational materials?
In the area of science?
Gasp! The horror!
Most home schoolers who aren’t Christians (and many who are) are Anarcho-Capitalists and wouldn’t take anything from a government run school.
Not sure where you get your info, but that is too broad a generalization.
Well, for one, I went to the 7 day Libertarian Porcfest last week, which had about 5,000 Libertarians and AnCaps, and that was the general consensus.
that seems rather anecdotal. The evidence I see here is that people continue to use government serves to homeschool.
True, but many homeschool (or unschool) to get away from government control. We do a little of both.
that’s all fine and all, but to ignore good material simply because it comes from a “government school” is rather odd. Do you refuse to drive on roads? Go to hospitals?
Not me.I don’t have a problem with it. Bur I’ve recently learned abiut the sheer nunber of voluntarists.
