"My biggest concern is that the coming movie and TV series will be released near the next election time, and will portray conservatives as idiots. That's always been my concern about dragging this issue into politics."

Yes, those T.V. people have so much power don't they? We had better fall into lockstep w/ the scientists, and the ACLU lawyers that are attacking this school district, why at no charge!, and lo and behold, Republicans will get elected by the Bushel!!

No, you don't have to fall into lockstep with anyone. Just quit being wrong and associating your wrongness with conservatism. Go be wrong independently; you're making the rest of us look bad.

Here's an alternative: Why don't we return to the traditional conservative stance of demanding high and hard-nosed academic standards in all secondary education subjects, including biology but also in the social sciences?

Of course this means that we can't support the teaching of "creationism" or "intelligent design" unless and until some such view genuinely prevails in the market place of scientific ideas, but it ALSO means we can consistently and more effectively fight and reverse the accumulation of leftist, revisionist and identity group oriented pablum everywhere else in the curricula. (And in the sciences too, for instance by pointing out that whereas genuine ecological science can and should be taught, ideologically oriented "environmentalism" must and should be excluded.)
