Biggest Texas Charter School Network Reportedly Teaching Creationism

There is way more to this than I initially realized. I foresee picking at this story a bit at a time as it is hitting some other topics, individuals and organizations I'm still learning about (to be read, I have to once again dig for deleted articles,,,sigh). One such organization is ACE (Accelerated Christian Education), the board president of Responsive Education Solutions has ties to this organization which has popped up in other articles concerning homeschooling and the like,,,

According to science advocate Zack Kopplin, Texas students in more than 65 schools are not learning real science. Instead, he alleges, students enrolled in schools operated by the state’s largest charter school program are learning a curriculum that is riddled with factual errors, pushes creationism and undermines evolution.

Kopplin, 20, railed against the crooked standards at Responsive Education Solutions charter schools in an article published on Slate.com Thursday. He says he used an open records request to attain copies of the workbooks used to educate Responsive Ed students and found science lessons that call evolution a “dogma” and an “unproven theory.” He also said he saw history lessons with a misogynistic and religious agenda.

“What I found is that, really unquestionably, the Responsive Education Solutions program is teaching creationism,” Kopplin told The Huffington Post over the phone about the publicly funded, secular charter school network. “It highlights supernatural creationism as a legitimate alternative to evolution. It says that evolution is unproved dogma with no experimental basis.”
