Kids take them nowadays....... if you're "gifted" you get put into "gifted" classes because your "special". 

Apparently I scored 5 points too low... so I'm not "gifted" or "special"   If only I had put that square together 2 seconds faster... god damnit.

My kid never took one, he was just put a grade ahead because he learns so fast.  No test needed.  He is one of those stupid Americans.

Then you're kid is a child prodigy tbh.....

lowered expectations = great success jk jk

'Against teaching it'? Ignore her comments to the Anchorage Daily News then so...

To even nearly associate yourself with that nonsense is enough to warrant the compulsory wearing of a dunce cap imo.

first this quote contradicts itself

"As a candidate for governor,

Sarah Palin called for teaching creationism alongside evolution in public schools. <------ Note, says she called for it to be taught b4 elected.

But after Alaska voters elected her, Palin,

kept her campaign pledge to not push the idea in the schools." <------- Note, says she pledged not push for it to be taught b4 elected.

So, I would say your sources are pretty poor.  Obviously you can not cite where she " AS GOVENOR " pushed for it to be taught.  Thus, she is not for having it taught in school.

But yeah, it makes for a nice lie to spread.

btw: the second quote means nothing without knowing the question or context of the partial statement.

While not pushing for it is better than pushing for it, the simple fact that she once supported the idea should.... raise some questions...

There are so many lies out there about her now that I trust nothing " reported " anymore. 

Unless since running as president she says she supports teaching creationism in public schools, she doesn't.  This is what happens when people spread lies.

I mean OBVIOUSLY. CNN is SUCH a poor source. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/11/palin.truth/

She believes in about the dumbest thing you can believe in this modern world, that should be enough to not allow her to be vice president.
I mean, dinosaurs were COOL. She doesn't believe in them?! Why can't she refuse to believe in tax returns or laws? It would make her a much more interesting character.... :rollleyes:

Gee I believe the second quote was from:

According to the Anchorage Daily News, Palin asked Wasilla's city librarian in 1996 if she would be OK with removing certain books as part of a larger discussion on policy. The librarian said no, and there's no evidence supporting a book ban.

In fact, some of the books cited on this list weren't even published 12 years ago -- namely the Harry Potter series, which first appeared in July 1997.

Another false claim churning in the rumor mill: that Palin slashed Alaska's special-needs education budget by more than 60 percent.

According to a recent Education Week article, Palin tripled the amount of money each student will get during the next three years.

NICE SOURCE you should have read it yourself.

"But some rumors do have a bit of truth.

It's been rumored that Palin wants to teach creationism in schools. While she vowed not to add it to Alaska's curriculum, she has spoken in favor of classroom discussion of both creationism and evolution.

"I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. it doesn't have to be part of the curriculum," Palin told the Anchorage Daily News in a 2006 interview."

Please note the important parts:  if it comes up in class     it doesn't have to be part of the curriculum

Well, it is documented.  She doesn't support it anymore, sure, but the fact that she at one point in her life did, tells me that she's no different than the right wing religious whackjobs that have ruled this country with an iron fist for 8 years... or 6, depending on what you look at.

Someone with some sense.

She is a complete nutter. If you want to fuck her, Lotta_Drool, be my guest, but I don't give a shit about all the "good" she is planning to do. She is a complete moron.

From YOUR source you simpleton:

"I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. it doesn't have to be part of the curriculum," Palin told the Anchorage Daily News in a 2006 interview."

Please note the important parts:  if it comes up in class     it doesn't have to be part of the curriculum

It says NOTHING about advocating teaching it.

GET AN IQ

You really are a complete moron. Did I ever say she wanted schools to teach it? Did I ever claim she said so? Did I EVER IMPLY THAT SHE WANTED SCHOOLS TO START TEACHING IT?! No, I did not.

Of course, you being a moron and all, tried to read too much into my first comment about Sarah Palin, but your little brain couldn't muster the power to realise I meant nothing more than the fact that Sarah Palin is a nutter for believing in Creationism.

That source was merely evidence showing you that she has actually even considered it and believe it to be for a good discussion in class. Where you found the part that I said she wanted to teach it, is beyond me. Though, of course, with your simple brain, you can get mixed up a lot...

Don't worry, go take out your daily rage on a metal door. It will hurt, but you will feel better.

Well I hope that Obama has less experience than Palin doing this kind of stuff.

Ah, so your point is that just like O'bama, Biden, and McCain she believes in Creationism and is therefore a nutter.

Or did you mean that all the US presidents up until now were nutters but just forgot to include them and O'bama in your rant?

Wow, no wonder Ireland is better than Snotland.

I have been in "gifted" programs since 3rd grade, I've never taken one... I've always wondered what usm said.

They should be attacking experience, not comparing it. Yes they need to move on and tell us what they plan on doing. I'm a lot more receptive to that.
