We’re already teaching religious beliefs in public schools, secular humanism and atheism, which is being dictated by the government.

Local schools should be paid for and run by local communities and reflect local communities standards.

Government control of public schools has ruined them, as it ruins EVERYTHING the government gets its hands on.

You cannot justify the damage done to education in this country all in the name of supporting the teaching of evolution. Kids in public schools can barely read and write, if they graduate in the first place.

How do you think that teaching the ToE is going to correct that? Will it make them more literate and numerate?

If they can barely read and write, what makes you think that they can correctly understand the ToE and what harm do you think that teaching creation is going to do?

Until the Scopes Trials and evolution was introduced into public schools and creation gradually edged out, all kids were taught creationism and the Bible and it happened during the first couple centuries of this country’s history, when tremendous advances were made in scientific research and technology.

Clearly that situation didn’t hinder the progress we made then.

Public education has continued to decline in the last century, at the same time that creationism was being forced out of public schools and evolution introduced.

It goes to disprove your assertion that bringing creation back into public schools is going to ruin public education.

You’re now left trying to explain how the very thing that you claim is necessary for our country to succeed coincides with the steady continued decline of science and math in the public education sector, and how your solution is going to improve it.
