You can demand that your school cut out the pages with false information. Get the textbooks down; show them where the information is false, the horse evolution, the gill slits, and all this kind of stuff. See? Look, just cut the pages out. How many of you would help cut the pages out so it wouldn't cost the school a thing? You would do it for free. Go to your school and help cut the pages out. Would you do that? Come on, put your hand up. Let me see if you are willing to volunteer. Doesn't cost the school a thing. Right? Now, textbooks are expensive. They don't need to buy a whole new textbook. Just cut those pages out. Very simple! Won't cost them a thing. Or you can do like a principal in Georgia did: glue the pages together. He got all of the pages where they teach evolution and glued them together. One summer he did that. He didn't ask any questions, he just did it.

* Breaking into the school. Trespassing and breaking and entering.
* Razoring textbooks. Vandalism and censorship.
* Listening to Kent. Reckless endangerment.
* Perpetual ignorance - priceless!
Michael Shermer, in Why People Believe Weird Things IIRC, once wrote of a librarian who had advice on how to "correct" (i.e. vandalize) secular instructional materials in Christian school libraries -- such things as blacking out pictures of nude paintings and statues with a sharpie (and roughing up the surface of glossy pages with a razor blade in case it won't stick) and gluing together and/or slicing out pages with "offensive" content.
Frighteningly, he had the same name as the vice-principal at the Christian high school I went to. I always wondered...
Cut out all the pages you want. It just means that your kids won't know a fucking thing that will be asked on the test, they will fail, and it will be all your fault.
edit: oh wait. It's Kunt wHoREvind. That explains everything. Hows the arse Kunt? Had any visits from the "Health Inspector" (the Boondocks) yet?
Actually, it DOES cost the school money, asshole, because that's fucking vandalism, and they need to replace those textbooks.
I hope the money to replace them comes straight from your pockets.
Well you see kenny boy, it works like this:
You get caught defacing property of the school
"You can demand that your school cut out the pages with false information. We can start with this one. It's pretty big, well printed, soft thin paper, lies from cover to cover. Who ran out of toilet paper?"
Yes, it does. And it's not a problem of money, it's a matter of COHERENCE. You can't eliminate a well-researched theory and desestructurate a whole book, In which the understanding of one part leads to another, because a group of science-illiterate nearthentals claim that it offends them or that it's false without evidence. Something that we call CENSORSHIP.
The closed mind again, with the closed book - ALL the paged glued together so that it CAN'T be opened.
Hell and damn! That's too time-consuming. Let's just burn the books instead. Knowledge is dangerous and should be banned. The only book to be allowed is the Unholy Bible.
There wouldn't be a whole lot left in the schoolbooks now, would there? Most likly even the math books would be cut down!
Does this bs still fall under freedom of speech or is he actually telling impressionable children to vandalize school property?
Million dollar idea right here: Holy Blinders! Just affix the blood of the lamb to your eyes, and all offensive and challenging material disappears!
Somebody do some mockups, and we'll share the profits, 50/50
And they will tell you that cut them YOURSELF, in YOUR book, in YOUR spare time but, as long as that book is delivered by the school, it keeps the way it is.
I think he's riding on the assumption that the Board of Education of the school, the Department of Education of the state, and all the other parents of the children attending the school will agree with him. Which is a hell of an assumption to make, especially at a public school.
It may seem like a few clips here and there in the beginning. However, in an adequate biology textbook, where evolution is taught in the very beginning of the book and used as a model to explain mostly everything else, you'd have to cut out every reference to evolution in the entire book, and following that, every reference to every reference, and so on. Soon, you'd end up with a useless book missing entire chapters because they refer to some concept that was cut out earlier.
I don't mind amending textbooks by adding footnotes or making slight changes, especially in cases where there there is some notable ambiguity. But you can't just chop up a school book and take out everything you don't like.
If creationists' best tactic now is to vandalize school property, they're admitting that their faith is utterly bankrupt. Go ahead, asshole: show the American taxpayer what the creationist faith leads to.
Kent Hovind, shut up. As I recall you're in jail right now. Shut up. You're in jail now, and the only ones who take you seriously are losers with a desire to throw us into a new Dark Age. Shut up. You're in jail. Do you see yet just how nutty you are.
I can't write good parody...:(
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
