Re: Explanation of Low Science/Math/Social Studies Scores in Memphis City School

Hi y'all - I think that the "lectures" you refer to are unlikely
contribute to the low scores mentioned. Those who normally attend, and
accept the truth of these lectures, are incapable of scoring at all
IMHO.
I wish I could attend!

We can never know the full mix of motives and causes including depression,
death of his father, being picked on, etc., but I think that I think there
is a part of the modern Islam that contains a meme bent on self-immolation

Explanation of Low Science/Math/Social Studies Scores in Memphis City School

Can this explain some of the low scores in science/math/social studies in Memphis? Ken Ham will denounce physic, geology, biology & astronomy as legitimate forms of knowledge. Then claim that church (not the social sciences) are the true path to social reform. Next, Mr. Ham will advocate instead of embracing these fairytale disciplines such as physics to accept a more solid foundation of knowledge based on the Holy Bible (God's knowledge instead of Man's knowledge). The Memphians in the church will shout "Amen" when he does this sermon against the sciences.

Clog,

Naw. justice was dished out just fine. The man that was executed
was praying. The victim's son was praying. The jury prayed. Heck,
everybody was praying. The son even said, "The good Lord was on our

Hi y'all - while I abhor his crime, I feel that justice was not dished
out in this case. It seems that the jury had their own interpretation
of the 6th commandment.

Hi y'all - Nationwide we are a nation of fortypercenters or history
deniers as Dawkins calls us. It would seem that the 40% are not spread
equally over the nation, but congregate in the Memphis area.

Hi y'all - yes the Koran does not specify punishment for those acting
