If someone's parents believed that gravity only went up 3 miles, or that four times five equalled thirty, or that molecules didn't exist, would education be trampling on their rights?

In the meantime, China and India keep cranking out more scientists, engineers and mathematicians. Is it in our country's interest to keep kids ignorant?

You make some excellent points, and illustrate precisely why this fight is so important. Scientific ignorance is harmful to the future of our nation.

Our kids today get dumber and dumber and less literate, and they are taught more about evolution than previous generations.
