Black Pastors Want Bust of Margaret Sanger Removed from the Smithsonian

Their argument is that Sanger supported eugenics and was a racist — but the evidence is shaky on both. It’s always dangerous to apply modern morality to previous eras, but that’s what you have to do to paint her as a horrible person. There’s a good article here giving more context to her beliefs, but for what it’s worth, Sanger opened up an integrated birth control clinic in the 1930s, a time when even those were segregated. And in 1966, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America gave its inaugural “Margaret Sanger Award” to — wait for it — Martin Luther King, Jr. You can read his full acceptance speech here, but I would excerpt this bit:

There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister. She was willing to accept scorn and abuse until the truth she saw was revealed to the millions. At the turn of the century she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jail because she was violating an unjust law. Yet the years have justified her actions. She launched a movement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions. Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning. Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her. Negroes have no mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgent concern.

T. rex fossils arrive at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History - The Washington Post

Such exciting news,,,

“It’s like Christmas morning,” declared dinosaur curator Matt Carrano.

The Nation’s T. Rex, discovered by a Montana rancher near Fort Peck Reservoir in 1988 and owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, is on loan to the Natural History Museum for 50 years.

It will replace a life-size T. rex replica that’s been displayed in the Natural History Museum’s dinosaur hall since 1999, shortly after the Smithsonian lost out on Sue, the world’s most famous dinosaur fossil, at a hotly contested auction.

“The absence of a T. rex was unforgivable,” Johnson said, standing among the crates. “It’s this amazing dream for me to get this iconic fossil.”

“It’s a wonderful day for the nation,” said Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army Corps commander who signed off on the long-term loan.

Then this wanker comes along,,,

For example, recently,  the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (in Washington, DC), acquired a T. rex skeleton, known as “the Nation’s T. Rex.”  This T. rex is very complete. The museum director, Kirk Johnson, believes the new dinosaur skeleton will draw many children to the National Museum of Natural History, saying, “Dinosaurs are the gateway drug to science for kids.”

Of course, secularists know that children love dinosaurs, and they use dinosaurs to indoctrinate kids into evolutionary ideas. “The Nation’s T. Rex” will be a centerpiece for the Smithsonian—a museum funded by our tax dollars. In reality, then, the government is imposing the religion of evolution and millions of years on children visiting the Smithsonian, while also claiming a supposed separation of church and state! Our tax dollars are funding the religion of naturalism (atheism) and its evolutionary story to be exhibited in the Smithsonian in the nation’s capital!

Ham seems to forget that his "museum" is funded by  a $43 million tax rebate from the state of Kentucky, as well as a 75 percent property tax discount.  Must be penis envy.

The real difference between the Creation Museum and the Smithsonian is that we tell children the truth of God’s Word and the gospel. We explain the true history of the world concerning creation and the Flood—and in doing so we correctly explain the history in regard to dinosaurs and solve the mystery as to what happened to them.  We point visitors to the truth of God’s Word in Genesis, and teach kids that dinosaurs were created on Day Six of the Creation Week and that most of the fossils of dinosaurs were formed during the Flood of Noah’s Day about 4,300 years ago.
