####Google the Santorum Amendment.####

It applies to public schools. However, I'm opposed to the entire No Child Left Behind Act, including that amendment.


####Truth hurts, doesn't it?####


You know better than that. I'm not a young earth creationist. I'm not anti-Darwin. I'm not against teaching evolution, though I have my doubts about the theory. I just get tired of the constant running to judges, the silly arguments that giving a few minutes of class time to ID constitutes a "war against science", and the patently absurd assertion that a sticker on a textbook suggesting that kids study evolution with an open mind constitutes a violation of the United States Constitution. Not to mention that a teacher who told his class, for example, that men and women have different ranges of abilities (a perfectly defensible scientific position) would be fired, and the National Center for Scientific Education wouldn't do a damn thing about it.

But you only volunteer a condemnation of federal intervention in education when evos are doing it.

If creationists weren't wedded to wedge strategies, evos wouldn't be so inclined to chopping off the end of the wedge before it gets any purchase.
