Loch Ness monster cited by US schools as evidence that evolution is myth – Scotland – Scotsman.com
Seriously embarrassing story out of Scotland:
THOUSANDS of American school pupils are to be taught that the Loch Ness monster is real – in an attempt by religious teachers to disprove Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Pupils attending privately-run Christian schools in the southern state of Louisiana will learn from textbooks next year, which claim Scotland’s most famous mythological beast is a living creature.
Thousands of children are to receive publicly-funded vouchers enabling them to attend the schools – which follow a strict fundamentalist curriculum.
The Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) programme teaches controversial religious beliefs, aimed at disproving evolution and proving creationism.
Youngsters will be told that if it can be proved that dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time as man, then Darwinism is fatally flawed.

Palm meet Face.
Better
Face meet Brickwall
That there is even something called Accelerated Christian Education dismays me. That part of this is aimed at disproving evolution, makes me throw up in my mouth.
My sentiments as well.
Oiy! I hadn’t heard that one! St. Augustine would be disgusted.
