What the heck are you freaking out about?

If you want to teach your kids however you want, it's FINE with us, for god's sake Ex you need to get a grip.

I homeschool my kids, I have NO problem with you doing the same.

But, if you choose to have your children educated in Public School, expect them to be taught science, no matter how much it upsets you. Evolution will be taught in science class, not next to ID though, because ID has not shown itself to be science, by a LONG shot!! As a matter of fact, it hasn't even tried.

We are conservatives as well, and feel you have every right to teach your kids whatever you want. The earth is flat, it's turtles all the way down, the stars are holes in the firmament etc, etc. Great, teach them whatever you want, they are YOUR kids, but we are not going to let you teach that to them in publicly payed for schools.

So, if you want to teach your kids Junk science, homeschool them. Easy stuff.

I'm funny that way...I tend to get riled when elitist oppressors try to tell me how to live my life or raise my children.

I have a grip...on my rights under the U.S. Constitution. I think you evolutionists need to get a grip on what individual freedom is about.

Yes, a scientific theory is mandated by the govt. - so much for freedom of thought. Can you think of another that is?

That's your opinion based on your naturalistic presuppositions. Parents have a right to tell you to go jump in the lake. If 20 million parents did that, you all would have to surrender as you can't put 20 million people in jail. That day is coming when people will stand up and tell you to stuff your theory where the sun doesn't shine. The position of evolutionists is: Darwinism is science because we say it is, and nothing else will be taught in govt. schools because we say so.
