Another reason that it provides a vehicle for teaching the detestable and pernicious Malthus population principle as a fact to unsuspecting public-school students. I am sure that if educators decided to tell you upfront that "from now on we are going to teach the Malthus principle as a fact in all public-school biology classes" there would be an immense public opposition to it. And rightly so. But the truth of the Malthus principle is precisely the thing which natural selection presupposes. And so, your kid comes out of evolution class with Malthusianism firmly implanted in his brain for the rest of his life.
A most excellent point, one that cannot be overstated. Extremist liberals are using the public schools to push some of the most vial, liberal views that have ever existed. On this very site, Christians will say they have no problems with evolution whatsoever. That in itself is proof as to how amazingly effective their tactics have been. That so many Christians would refute God’s very own words simply because these lies were pounded into their young, gullible minds by the teachers they trusted. It troubles me greatly when I think about it. I pray that one day soon God will raise up heroes that will take the public schools from these atheists and return them back to real science and education.
