This is child abuse. The creation thing is hardly child abuse. Who cares what parents tell their kids, they'll work it for themselves in the future.

Unfortunately, some fundamentalist Christians do not allow their children to goto public schools, for whatever reason. In "Jesus Camp," the mother of Levi, who is home-schooled, actually tells him to think of science as "not proving anything." It is one thing to give your children religion and structure, but another thing to teach them lies. I doubt that a bear will fish for salmon in a stream surrounded by lush grass if it were primarily vegetarian.

The referenced video would also be disallowed as a learning tool in most probably every public school in the US.

I saw part of the video in "Jesus Camp." It was actually being used as a home-school tape...
You guys should really watch this:

To see the rest of the video follow the response links.
You will see what I am talking about, Christian or not.
This is not poking fun at Christians. It is pointing out how the evangelicals, who I consider to not actually be Christian because of their intolerant tendencies, are trying to make children into some kind of army. An army with the sole purpose of fighting a cultural war against those within the US that are not evangelical Christians. This goes against the basic principles of the United States; i.e. against religious prosecution with a separation of church and state.
I am sure a lot of you will agree that using children, some only 9 years old, in pro-life rallies with tape over their mouths saying "LIFE" is wrong. Also, telling children they have sinned and making them cry at church is also wrong. Children are supposed to be innocent. However, both of these things happen in the video... along with a whole bunch of craziness you have to see to believe.
