You showed far more control than I would have (probably why we homeschool). However, as a science professional (Professional Geologist), you are correct in your observations regarding the blending of opinion and science and the addition of 'laws' that do not belong there.

Thank you.

I know I'm correct. The school and the teacher have no defense on this point. I explained to them today that the author and publisher admit that most of the statements are "value statements" and they segregate the "scientific principles" from the "value statements" in ALL future editions of the textbook. If they argue the point with me (out of ignorance) they have to argue the point with the guy who wrote the book.

they segregate the "scientific principles" from the "value statements" in ALL future editions of the textbook.

Based upon the content of the current text book, I wouldn't give a plug nickel for their 'revisions' in their future editions as they are likely to be a corrupt as the current, just disguised better.
