JUNIOR WROTE: "The decision reiterated that public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs. If the parents don't like it, they always have the option of private school."

Oh, really? And are we to understand that those who can barely get by paycheck to paycheck every month can have YOU pay for their child(ren) to attend the private school of their choice, religious or otherwise?

Please provide your actual name and address here so they can know who to send the private school bill to.

BTW, evolution (aka atheism) is a religion itself, but somehow, you seem to think indoctrinating/brainwashing children with that religion is okay.

To borrow a phrase from The Fox News Channel, let's have schools report (i.e. present both/all sides) and let the children (and their parents) decide!

" BTW, evolution (aka atheism)..."

Evolution, like ALL scientific theories, says absolutely nothing for or against the existence of a God. It is no more *atheistic* than the theory of gravity is. The word you are looking for is agnostic, which, properly, is the position of science in relation to a God. It's simply outside its purview. God is a matter for the theologian/philosopher, not the scientist.

"To borrow a phrase from The Fox News Channel, let's have schools report (i.e. present both/all sides) and let the children (and their parents) decide!"

Yes, let's have Whole Science and let the children decide what is right and wrong! Because, as you know, Whole Math and Whole Language have done so wonderfully well. :)

" The old school board was trying to prevent the schools from brainwashing/indoctrinating children with the religion of Atheism."

No, they were trying to bring creationism into the schools, under the thinly veiled disguise of ID. They perjured themselves on the stand trying to do so.

" The new school board wants to violate the Constitution by excluding anything which challenges or contradicts the religion of Atheism."

No, they want to make sure that what is taught in a science classroom is actually science, not religion (ID, creationism). Imagine that! :)

The irony here--do you think these evos capable of reproducing at all?
