f we're going to have science class, science goes in it. If we're not going to have science class, "Ni shuo Jongguo hua ma?" [Do you speak Chinese?]

Science and indoctrination are two different things. It's one thing to teach ToE; it's quite another to teach it like it's some kind of fact and dissent is not allowed.

And no, I don't speak Chinese, although I've been learning Arabic. I suppose studying a foreign language raises someone's intellectual value in your eyes?

The kind of material you would use to express your dissent would be recognized by real science as false or misleading, a cult literature.

Dissent on scientific grounds would be fine.

The problem is none of the arguments your crowd puts forth against evolution ever rises above the level of "why are there still monkeys?!".
