Wrong.

Possibly. But at least my error stems from acknowledging creationists as conservatives.

So what is the explanation? With respect to creation and evolution in curricula, why do creationists quite generally seek a intellectually relativistic equal time accommodation, the way a liberal would, instead of insisting on a good, old-fashioned intellectual death-match, the way a conservative would?

Demanding equal representation from a government entity is entirely different from attempting to enforce equal time via government means, upon the private sector.

Both have elements of government censorship, and both attempt to enforce an officially sanctioned viewpoint. In the first example, it’s largely to the exclusion of any alternative. In the second example, it’s requiring private resources be spent, in order to further a point of view that the private sector clearly does not desire to support.

So, you’re misattributing motives, and misplacing the taint of liberalism, here.

Since we're now on the topic, probably because the liberal/atheist element has used the force of the government to squash that. The liberal/atheists don't even seek an equal time accommodation. It's not even all or nothing. It's all for them and nothing for everybody else.

Apparently, using litigation is the only thing they understand.

And sadly, this is supported by more FRevos than one would like to see on a conservative forum.
