Opposing theories such as ID have just as valid a place in the classroom as science's also unproven theories.

Sorry, but I have really tried--and completely failed--to distinguish your point here from the standard liberal special pleading for marginal points of view, which rips through educational institutions on both sides of the Atlantic.

Place the scientific literature (= the evidence) for ToE in one pan of the scales, and the scientific literature for Creationism in the other: the scales do not come close to balancing. But you hold that Creationism/ID is somehow "entitled" to 'equal time'?

Here (UK), large portions of British history are no longer taught in secondary schools because it is "imperialistic" and "Euro-centric." Well, that's because the British Empire was (for better and for worse) precisely those things, too bad if that offends some people!

I'll explain it to you slowly. Our school system began teaching from the Bible, because of liberal whining, the Fed decided that it has the exclusive right to indoctrinate, inculcate, young minds.

Now everything is being taught, from how to put a condom on a banana, to scientific theory, to the exclusion of the original system that was in place and one that the majority of Americans preferred.

It is only right that we demand equal time and equal access to the students mind.
