You're the "conservative" in bed with communist doctrine, not me.

I am afraid you and others here have this all backwards.

The creationsts are the ones who would like to see certain knowledge prohibited from being taught in schools. If there was a viable alternative scientific theory in addition to evolution, rest assured it would be included in the curriculum. But there isn't.

Your right. I know a few who, if they had their way, would cut a lot of biology, astronomy, and general science out of the curriculum. They don't find it funny when I ask if they think the Universe rotates around Earth, or the Sun rotates around the Earth.

I have no problem with teaching evolution and mentioning creation and other views as an alternative. I have a problem with cutting out a large chunk of science and only mentioning creation. If anything, I think it'd be good if kids were told about the alternatives to evolution, it might force them to think a little more.
