Whatever. In Blader Elementary, have your teachers teach nothing.

Meanwhile, most people find it common sense to do as I suggested above.

So you want to essentially emulate what the evolution-enthusiasts are doing: insisting that junk science theory being taught in public schools is some kind of "right".

No wonder so many conservatives support homeschooling.

I'd support that as long as ALL 'alternatives' were taught, and not just the oft-told and full-of-holes Christian Creation tale. I mean, c'mon- talking snakes? Apples of Sin? Blame the woman for Temptation and Original Sin? Besides, what child hasn't heard the Creation story? I fully agree with you that children should learn ALL religions' creation stories, not just that of Christianity. That is what you're supporting, right? Or just more of the same old boring OT myth, with its dark hinting of intra-family mating and brother/sister marriage, and master-race-like idea of "people of Nod"?

Many of the Native American cultures' creation tales are far more interesting, in the way Greek Mythology is interesting. They're not worthy of inclusion in a serious science class, but they're great English Lit reading.
