Eventually, slaves were freed, at great cost, and women gained their franchise. IOW, practice caught up with overriding principle.

If you think science classes are only teaching science in today’s America, and not a world view that is hostile to Christianity and the founding principles, you’re either deluded or dishonest. One or the other.

At the time of writing, slaves were not in the group of “all men” and neither were females. Later changes are all very well, but don’t quoite something that does not apply.

I teach science, specifically biology at the college level. You may accuse me of anything you like, but you have not yet said that I do not teach what scientists think.

My father was a man of deep faith. He never challenged what was taught in science classes because for him it was an act of faith to believe what the Bible said. I respect that.

I do not respect silly word games and asking that science teachers (Episcopalian, Jewish, Baptist, Hindu, etc.) address one specific sub-section of Christian belief.

I especially don’t want schools getting involved in how I teach religion to my kids and grandkids. Don’t trust them that much and don’t know why you do.
