... If you think the TOE is bad, wrong, should be suppressed, etc. because people abuse it, then you must be one of those people that think that all things that a small minority of people abuse should be outlawed.
***Well, I'm not one of those people, so your logic fails. For instance, I don't think cars should be outlawed, but people who use cars for criminal activity should go to jail. I can't really identify the fallacy, but since it doesn't make sense to me, I'll just consider it to be a non sequitur and leave it at that. I don't think the TOE is bad, wrong nor should it be suppressed. I think the TOE is the POE, that it doesn't hold water as a true scientific theory and is more of a philosophy, well on its way to becoming a religion. It is a fascinating one at that. And I think it should be taught in P classes, not science classes. I think there is evidence for the time being for both sides of ID/abiog, and that neither of these are really addressed by the evo "theory". But that's just what I think, and it doesn't really matter all that much what I think as it does what the pres thinks and what he's going to do to make it happen. I agree with his stance.
The truth can always be abused and used and distorted for unsavory ends.
***And I have been on the abused end when it comes to evo being bloviated by professors to students under their authority. It's interesting that you call it "the truth". That's more of a sign of a philosophy discussion than a scientific one. Scientists tend to say, "facts can always..."

Let's get back to your original reply....
I can just picture an (evo) "teacher" nodding his/her head and saying "Absolutely" when a student asks, "Does that mean (one race is superior to another?" or "Does that mean Social Darwinism is true?")
And once again my response to this...."Disingenuous. Darwin made no such claim."
You're response to this....It doesn't matter that Darwin made no such claim, the evo teachers make the claim for him.
Please define "evo teacher".
