Proponents of the teaching of creationism/intelligent design have already attempted to warp us back to the Middle Ages in countries such as the U.S., Australia, Germany, the U.K. and the Netherlands. Hong Kong appears to be next on the agenda. Check out this passage from the new Biology syllabus for secondary schools:

“In addition to Darwin’s theory, students are encouraged to explore other explanations for evolution and the origins of life, to help illustrate the dynamic nature of scientific knowledge.”

Earlier SCMP reported that at least thirty Hong Kong secondary schools with a religious background have admitted to teaching creationism and/or intelligent design as an alternative to the theory of evolution during science lessons.

Hey, Education Bureau! We already have a ridiculous amount of hideous churches in Hong Kong to mess with our kids’ feeble minds. We don’t need schools to be doing the same thing. Our internet-savvy offspring can always surf the web for additional feedback. The late George Carlin for example has been responsible for some excellent material on these matters. Heck, even Jews can be great alternative sources of wisdom.

Hong Kong, it’s time to take a stand to avoid our kids getting brainwashed with Christian religious nonsense. Sign the petition by the Concern Group for Hong Kong Science Education here. Oh, and as long as our spell to control your online behavior appears to be working, why don’t you sign up here as a new fan of our little blog. Bless you.
