If you ask me, that settles the question right there. I support the Bible, and I don’t want my children learning about Heliocentrism in school. I think this doctrine encourages atheism, Darwinism, and anti-Americanism. I don’t want my tax dollars going to finance this kind of false science. It’s complete rot, and I hope that those of us who come to realize this can ultimately prevail against its propogation amongst OUR children with the money from OUR salaries.

Please tell me this is a troll or some form of set up.
Sisyphus isn't too sure about gravity either.
Yes, the concept of America simply cannot exist without the Sun circling the Earth.
"I don’t want my children learning about Heliocentrism in school"
Following your logic, they shouldn´t teach creationism, for the same reasons. And by the way, be consequent and stop using the computer and modern tech, who couldn´t be possible without the heliocentric theory. Moreover, don't travel for that matter.I am being serious, baby. Without that theory, many things that were essential in the past, many routes made and many instruments wouldn´t be invented and, therefore, many ships couldn´t have colonised the world, and open the way for today. So, more American that the theory of heliocentrism, there is nothing.
Well, my first reaction is, "There's one more poor kid destined for the welfare roles," but then I spoted it: How in the Hell is heliocentricism "Anti-American?" Surely teaching that the Earth is the center of the universe promotes globalization, not nationalism, since, after all, it isn't the United States that is claimed to be the center, but rather the planet as a whole. For goodness' sake, geocentrism was discarded long before there even was a "United States of America."
I suppose if you stretch your interpretation of the Bible to say the sun goes around the earth, and claim that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically an atheist, then "this doctrine encourages atheism" might make sense. But how it has anything to do with Darwin or anti-Americanism goes right over my head.
But... Everyone knows that gravity is caused by magnetic particles in the atmosphere. weight of Man's sin!
"But... Everyone knows that gravity is caused by magnetic particles in the atmosphere."
Or you could use the same method my parents did. Show them what you believe, let them see all of the evidence, and LET THEM THINK FOR THEMSELVES.
Isolating them from contrary ideas creates people who have no idea how to defend their beliefs or deal with other ideas. Thus they either have weak faith and abandon it for the first thing that appeals to them, or they become ignorant children who want all contrary ideas banned. Kind of like you, actually.

The Conservative Christian Dr. Buzz Aldrin would like a word with you, Sissy .
Is there a reason people are reviving this obvious troll? The premise is ridiculous and the poster is called Sisyphus. 1) Not a particularly likely name for someone so apparently scandalized by the thought of people learning non-Christian ideas (it's from Greek mythology). 2) The name of a character who repeated the same meaningless, futile task (basically a description of trolling).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
