State Rep calls 16 Year Old Girl "Evil Little Thing"

@LuckyCharms Said

Just says that life was created by a deity in the article. Which is religious belief. Granted, there are several different specific creation myths. But teaching creation mythology as a science is still nonsense.

Quote:
The bill allows schools to authorize "the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life" and specifically mentions "creation science" as one such theory. Creationism is the belief that the Earth and its creatures were created by a deity.

Part of it says that. The whole passage says this:


So, it really depends on how it's done. I wouldn't want it to just be cramming Christian Genesis 1-11 down their throat and nothing else. However, I don't see anything wrong with them saying "This (traditional science) is the accepted theory, but there are others and here is what they are," and then simply presenting the theories to them.

Well he called some of his constituents 'evil people' and called the child of two of his constituents an 'evil little thing'. He's facing a backlash of public opinion.

That's what he said and that's what he gets. Pretty A+B. Sorry, Rad, but freedom of speech also means you have to take responsibility for that speech. I've never understood why people think they can behave like children and face no social/public consequences then try to wrap themselves in the constitution/bill of rights as justification. That's f***ed up.

I can understand that. The article said "creation science" so maybe it would focus it differently.

@raditz Said

I never said there would be no consequences for his comment.

I think Mr. Palumbo has some praying of his own to do because as an adult christian male, this is not the way Jesus would want him to speak about a minor. So before he decides to take on a fight about if praying or anything to do with God should be in a public school, he needs to ensure he is an example of what being a christian is.

@Willi Said

palumbo called her trained to be evil by evil parents.
he covered his ass.

@DorkySupergirl Said

He is still not displaying the character of a Christian with his words.
