By the way, I teach a high school geography class and routinely make statements like "evolution is only a theory". When questioned about how the world began, if it wasn't the Big Bang, I just say shrug my shoulders and simply say, "God created it". My students smile and nod. I've yet to hear from the administration.
Ugh, anti-intellectualism is the last thing we need.
‘God did it’ fits in Iran, not here.
I am fortunate to teach in a small rural district wher my grandchildren go to school. The principal took us to lunch the other day (several groups of teachers on several days as a thank you for a good year). He said a blessing before the meal.
