Do they believe what they say?

When liberals want to teach favorably about condoms or evolution or communism, or they want to put down capitalism or religion, their favorite mantra is "Knowledge is power." But they don't really believe that. What they mean is "Teaching only what we want is power." Here's the proof of my theory:

There is a big controversy going on in Texas right know over science curriculum. Those scientists who see holes in the theory of evolution want those deficiencies discussed in the classroom. Those who swallow the theory whole despite its deficiencies do not. They say they believe "any focus on the weaknesses of evolution theory and on alternative theories would harm students' college readiness and their ability to compete for jobs." To paraphrase, "Lack of knowledge is power. If you know more, you won't be ready for college. If you know more, you will be less able to get a job."

Texas Freedom Network president Kathy Miller said, " . . .the political crusade against evolution and other attempts to dumb down our public school science curriculum are deeply misguided." Since when does presenting all the facts dumb something down? Are we not dumbing down by not presenting all the facts for discussion? Wouldn't it be better to say, "Some people see this contradiction (or weakness or whatever) in the theory of evolution. But that can be explained by . . ." Exactly what are the evolutionists afraid our students will find out? Could it be that they have no explanations for the weaknesses in the theory of evolution, and they are afraid students will be able to think for themselves and discover what a sham the whole theory is?
