" 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! :)
