You can teach your children however you like, and I won't begrudge you the opportunity. But teaching children about faith is for the home and Sunday school, not science class.
And I hope that you can understand that the Evo side doesn't mean to imply that your beliefs are stupid or worthless, they aren't. It's just that I can't in good conscience acquiesce to any sort of program of teaching children ideas that can't be materially proven in a science class.
Thank you for a well reasoned answer. I understand and appreciate your view. My only concern in all this is how does one who believes as I and many others do mesh having children taught an opposing view within the classroom. Is the only option taking the children out of school altogether? Won't that ostracize them from their peers?
Don't get me wrong. I understand why you feel the way you do and probably even agree with it to an extent, however it seems that a child is being requested to choose the State over his parents to be successful within class. If we're talking third year biology perhaps I can see the issue more clearly. But if we're talking about needing a semester of biology to graduate from high school I'm not sure I see the point of bringing up either POV if it's going to cause such concern. I had to take a semester in 9th grade. LOL, the only thing I remember was cutting up a frog and talking about flower pollenation.
Havent been here long have you ?
