No. Just a desire to keep ignorance and religion out of the classroom (and science).
= = = =

My construction on reality is that the assertion above is virtually 100% false.

1. Most, if not all, EVOS are MORE concerned about keeping God, His values, His demands on their lives and behavior

OUR OF THEIR LIVES--particularly out of their bedrooms.

2. Were the above to be remotely true, then a much greater and far more successful effort would be made to

A) dethrone the Popes of the Religion of Science
B) stop issuing virtually groundless or at best out dated RELIGION OF SCIENCE PAPAL ENCYCLICALS designed to stifle dissent; trash new discoveries; batter folks back into the traditional status quo and maintain the walls of the truest truly true truth as decreed by the fossilized High Priests of the Religion of Science.

C) truly encourage a diversity of opinions trusting that in the free exchange of ideas and the rough and tumble of such exchanges, the few better perspectives from dissenting constructions on reality would rise to the top and that would be beneficial to the world at large.

D) But nooooooooooooooooooooooo! The INQUISITION OF THE RELIGION OF SCIENCE MARCHES ON trashing all who dare to disagree.

E) And, they aren't the least bit honest about it--usually--and seemingly have had all their mirrors shattered.

Hmm, both ignorance and religion ~ how about keeping EVERYTHING out of a classroom.

You know very well that not everything has yet been discovered. In fact, some ideas of truly profound importance, for example "dark energy", are, at present merely hypotheses folks have come up with to explain some observations in mathematics, physics and astronomy. But, alas, we do not yet know for certain that "dark energy" really exists.

That is to say, we are IGNORANT in the most extreme degree concerning this item which we cannot measure, observe or manipulate.

You would keep "dark energy" out of the classroom.

So, here's a better idea ~ why don't we get the government out of the classroom ~ then, you can keep speculative science, as well as religion, out of your classrooms, and I will ordain a new order of enlightenment to take place in my classrooms.

And everybody will be happy.
