Agent Orange Ups Risk of Parkinson?s, Heart Disease

Agent Orange, the herbicide sprayed by the U.S. Army on the jungles of Vietnam during the war from 1962 to 1971, may have triggered Parkinson?s and heart disease in American soldiers who fought there

The conclusion, from a committee of the Institute of Medicine in Washington

During the Vietnam war, 2.75 million American soldiers served in and around the southeast Asian country and may have been exposed, said Bernard Edelman, deputy director for policy and government affairs of Vietnam Veterans of America.

In addition to millions of U.S. military personnel, tens of millions of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians also came into contact with Agent Orange, said Fred Wilcox, a professor at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, whose 1983 book ?Waiting for An Army to Die: The Tragedy of Agent Orange?

?The health effects on the people of Vietnam are monumental,? Wilcox said

Christian nutballs aim to change history for Texas schoolchildren

clipped by: disenchantedcitizen
clippers remarks: Aside from the obvious violation of the First Amendment, where the separation of church and state is established, Texas needs to be reminded that our public education system is established to teach our children the truth, not hearsay.

It is unconscionable for our public school system to be used to rewrite history. There is no historical evidence that our founding fathers ever intended the US to be a Christian Nation.

Texas, if you can get your kids into church you can teach whatever religion you think is appropriate, but keep it out of our schools, because believe it or not, not everyone holds your ideas of what this country was founded on.

Any school board that gives credence to the likes of the so-called ?expert? Reverend Peter Marshall who preaches that Hurricane Katrina and defeat in the Vietnam war were God?s punishment for sexual promiscuity and tolerance of homosexuals has got to be so far in the dark ages that they don?t want to be taken seriously and is lost to all re


The Christian right is making a fresh push to force religion onto the school curriculum in Texas with the state?s education board about to consider recommendations that children be taught that there would be no United States if it had not been for God.

Members of a panel of experts appointed by the board to revise the state?s history curriculum, who include a Christian fundamentalist preacher who says he is fighting a war for America?s moral soul, want lessons to emphasise the part played by Christianity in the founding of the US and that religion is a civic virtue

Opponents have decried the move as an attempt to insert religious teachings in to the classroom by stealth, similar to the Christian right?s partially successful attempt to limit the teaching of evolution in biology lessons in Texas.
