Just because we would present say a tradition western Christian view of things, why must there be equal time for any other particular view?

Because indoctrination into your sectarian religious views has no place in the public schools, that's why

A. It is *Not* my particlar view. I happen to agree with evolutionary theory. In your whackyKat arrogance you take anyone who disagrees with your extreme and absolutist viewpoint as being on the other extreme. Some things are not black and white. IMHO, there is nothing offensive at sharing different viewpoints with kids and you'd have to be pretty narrow-minded to think it would harm kids.

B. There is not a whit sectarian about saying something like "God created the earth". Please tell me what is sectarian about that.

C. Presenting views is not "indoctrination" - if it were, the creationists are right: Tellig them about evolution is "indoctrinating them into evolution".

D. The poster said that it would be okay to have creation theory taught in schools, under certain conditions. Do you agree? If not, argue with her.
I find the 'equal time' argument phony. Do you agree?

E. Lastly your assertion - what is the reason for asserting that religious discussion doesnt belong in the public school?
Do you really want American kids wholly and completely ignorant of religion totally? Why is ignorance a good thing in your book?
