Is the article a satire/parody?
Advertisements [?]
The article is available via this link:
The Creation/Evolution Debate: Education v. Indoctrination By Guyla Mills

I didn't read the whole thing and nothing in it struck me as laugh-out-loud funny, but I imagine that if one took an article written for Landover Baptist and edited out the most entertaining parts, then one would produce something like the article at the above link.

I don't recommend reading the entire article (unless you want to demonstrate that it is a satire/parody), so I will point out this part that you might otherwise not see:

Teaching evolution as fact is not intellectually honest. This indoctrinates and immerses students in false information, and denies them the opportunity to become critical thinkers. For example, a typical test question reads: The age of the earth is: a) 4.6 billion years old; b) 4 million years old; c) 6 thousand years old. However, an objective test question would be: Most scientists theorize that the age of the earth is a) 4.6 billion years old; b) 4 million years; c) 6 thousand years old.
