I wouldn't tolerate a child telling another that she came from monkeys, because I don't believe it is true

Of course it's not true.

Monkeys and apes and humans share a common ancestor. Humans, monkeys and apes are all primates, but we did not "evolve from monkeys."

The childish teasing you suppose comes from a position of ignorance as to what evolution really means. That type of ignorance may well be expected of children.

The only real cure for this type of teasing is education, a subject which the Dover school board apparently has very little interest.

Monkeys and apes and humans share a common ancestor. Humans, monkeys and apes are all primates, but we did not "evolve from monkeys."

And the physical evidence is located where?

Do you realize just some of what is required for a new species to arise based on evolution?
