How many ways do I need to say it? Teach darwinism as a theory not fact. And allow other beliefs into the classroom. We do not need the dictatorship of the Darwinians in our society.

That is what is being done. STFU or provide evidence for your false witness.

And allow other beliefs into the classroom.

Beliefs are allowed in the classroom; in the theology classes. Science class is for science, not beliefs.

We do not need the dictatorship of the Darwinians in our society.

You have your dictators - your church dictates your beliefs.

The theory of evolution is taught as theory. What you really want is for it to be taught as supposition, which it is not. Why do you not also want geology, geophysics, astronomy, physics, cosmology and other sciences that say the universe is >15 billion years old and undirected taught as supposition?

The observation the ToE explains is considered fact. It is called evolution. That observation is the variance in allele frequencies within a population over time due to differential replication/reproduction. Why should other beliefs be taught in a science class? Theories are taught in science class.
