This has been flying around on email lately... just in case anyone's missed it:

That's hun-like revisionism and blatant disregard of facts.

 

Q1: Rangers fans saved the club, true or false?

 

Q2: Rangers were sent down to Division 3 as a punishment, yes or no?

 

Q3: Are Rangers in Division 3 the same club that played in the SPL, yes or no?

Of course they are fake, those questions are written to antagonise non Christians.

I dont actually think these are fake.

 

Supposedly the parent of the child has came out and said he is shocked that this is being taught to his child and wasnt aware until he was shown the test results at school. He then took a photo and posted it online. He will not name the school as it is a small private religious school and he doesnt want all the negative press etc that will then follow for both him, his child and the fall out afterwards with the school. It wasnt him that circulated the image, just like sandwich van wifie, he sent it to someone and then it was out of his hands.

 

The test comes from an 'educational' book being sold to schools in the US

The snopes website is usually quite balanced. I'd say there is a good chance that the quiz is fair dinkum!

I've no doubt this is true.

 

State school is secular, and that kind of nonsense wouldn't be tolerated. Private schools, however, can teach more or less whatever they want within certain guidelines... and apparently telling kids the Earh is only a few thousand years old, or that the Flintstones is in fact an animated documentary falls within those guidelines.

 

I think it's great, personally. I like the idea that there are schools churning out ignorant graduates. It precludes them from getting jobs in meaningful industries like geology, genetics and science.

 

The only job of any real importance these muppets could aspire to is that of Pretzeldent of the Yoonited States of Christian America.
