Humanism and Athiesm are both religious belief structures and both of them depend on Darwinism as their foundation. Communism also depends on Darwinism. Why do we teach a science, that is based on the scientific principle of observed reality, by banning the teaching of scientific principles that are also observed, and repeatable because it interferes with the religious belief structure of the minority in control? That is not science, it is dogma.

DOGMA
noun {C or U} DISAPPROVING

a fixed, belief or set of beliefs that people are expected to accept without any doubts.

Or this one is interesting:
AGNOSTIC or ATHEIST
An agnostic is someone who holds that it is impossible to know whether there is a God or not. An atheist holds that there is no God. The word agnostic was invented by the 19th-century biologist T H Huxley.

Gee, an evolutionary biology teacher, who whouda thunk it?
So we are suppose to just believe this belief structure with no questions, and that inforced by a court of law because it is the only politicaly correct dogma?

Mao would have loved todays American schools. He would have felt right at home.

1. We don't do that, in general. All you would have to do is show strong scientific evidence of Intelligent Design and you could get it into the curriculum. Even before you have any evidence you are free to spread your ideas through any other method.

2. Communism, founded in "les communes" in France predated Darwin. Not to mention that Darwinism is much more involved than just survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest is found in many trains of thought but that doesn't make them Darwinism.

"Communism also depends on Darwinism."

Communist Manifesto- 1848
Origin of Species- 1859

Sorry, isn't possible.

Also, Stalin had Darwinists killed. Communism hates the ToE.

Just because Humanists, Atheists and Communists depend on Darwin's Theory does not mean that the schools are pushing these particular religions on the students.

Why do we teach a science, that is based on the scientific principle of observed reality, by banning the teaching of scientific principles that are also observed, and repeatable.

What scientific principles are banned that you believe should be taught in school?

So we are suppose to just believe this belief structure with no questions, and that enforced by a court of law because it is the only politically correct dogma?

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature)

Looks like it leaves doors open for scrutiny to me. The schools don't teach that this is an absolute and that questioning his theory is against a great book or against the word of a great being.

Opening doors for schools to teach ID would hold cause for teaching different ID beliefs. teaching these different beliefs would directly conflict with each other because each belief in ID holds that the word is absolute and the direct word from their particular Designer.

Isaih 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

To repost your definition of Dogma-belief or set of beliefs that people are expected to accept without any doubts.
