You could tell your son to bait the hell out of the teacher by asking him why he’s trying to foist his religious views (evolution takes more faith than creation) on his students...

Waiting for the zots...

That's what I'd do and then sit back and watch the sparks fly!

There not coming from me. There was a federal case, CF et. al v.Capistrano Unified School District, earlier this year that addressed a very similar circumstance. The teacher could very well be on some shaky ground here.

Here's the court's opinion in the earlier case.

The problem is that a teacher who is willing to say this openly would probably have no trouble failing a kid who gave him trouble.

I had to be very careful in my high school biology class to maintain my religious beliefs without hurting my grade.

The teacher pretty much warned me he’d be checking all my work for “religious bias”. Fortunately, I had no real problem understanding the material and answering the factual questions exactly like they were supposed to be answered.

And if I had to write a note at the bottom of my tests explaining that my answers were not what I believed, but what I was taught, it didn’t seem he had the ability to take credit off for that.
