That controversial “cash for grades” fund raiser at a North Carolina middle school didn’t last too long.
After the scheme to award extra points on tests for $20 appeared in the Raleigh News & Observer, Wayne County district officials today killed the Rosewood Middle School fund raiser.
As easy as it is to mock this school district (what were they thinking?!), my daughters’ schools used to do the same thing, albeit with a middleman of sorts. They would get bonus points for bringing in various things such as supplies for the school. It wasn’t a direct cash payment, but my wallet couldn’t tell the difference.

Ex-Planned Parenthood Director given cold should at her church — how ironic that her pro-choice “church” doesn’t approve of her choice to quit PP and expose the truth about abortions. Maybe those folks should participate in an abortion and watch it on the ultrasound.

Chinese researchers find that abortion results in 17% increased risk of breast cancer – anyone seen any counterpoints to this? I know the breast cancer link debate is controversial, with each side thinking it has trump-card studies.

PZ Myers has such poor critical thinking skills when it comes to God and morality. He rants at length as to why there is no such thing as true morality, but like most people positing that he can’t go a paragraph without a moral claim. He definitely thinks intolerance is wrong. I tend to agree, if one properly understands the classic definition of the word, but my claim would be consistent with my worldview while his is self-mockery.
Notice his outrage over Christians labeling homosexual behavior as a sin. Well, if there is no real morality saying it is sinful then there is also no real morality saying that it is wrong to call it a sin. He has 0.00 reasons to criticize the morality of Christians. It is so ironic that they can’t see their hypocrisy. What a delusional self-parody. Methinks he doth protest too much.

LOL.
On the Ex. P.P. Director.
I wonder if her church ever gave grief to Pro-Life Churches for being narrow minded and hostile to diverse views. This is more proof that there is really no detectable line of delineation that distinguishes between the abortion demanding, so called “gay-rights” championing, anti-Christ public school policy making, nanny state taxing, environment worshiping, money loving, anti free market attacking, economy destroying , ACLU loving, Democrat party and the liberal church. Nothing is ever not political for those who’s end game is man as god.
Dan, if I gave out a comment of the week you’d be hanging up the plaque on your wall right about now.
On PZ Myres
Wow! Now here’s a guy that has followed his argument to its logical conclusion. Wonderful analysis followed, thanks Neil.
This reminds me of The Abolition of Man-if I remember it correctly- in which Lewis shows that you can only scientifically cook life down so far and then you are left with the realities of the mysteries of our existence.
