And as long as evolutionary scientists are willing to use left-wing interpretations ...

Your argument smacks of fascism

Up until a few minutes ago, I was going to say thanks for a civil discussion of an admittedly inflamatory idea (fraud and high crime trials in addition to establishment clause ones).

I really don't see how upholding standards in science or any other subject is either leftwing or fascist. IMO it's 100% conservative.

I don't think conservatives should be arguing for something that amounts to affirmative action. Especially when ID and creationism can be discussed in philophy/methodology of science, comparative religion, rhetoric, etc classes. As I've said repeatedly, it's the misrepresentation of evolution in biology class that's the problem.

Please see post 139 and this. My reference to left wing that Coyoteman responded to relates to my outrage that the Federal Government, basing their action on liberal rulings in the Supreme Court of the Establishment Clause, can come into Georgia and tell this school district what to do.

I happen to agree science class is for science. But the way this is going down in Georgia, especially over a stupid sticker, sucks.

The idea of criminalizing speech one disagrees with is fascist. Sorry to have to tell you that but there it is.

What you just stated is a valid opinion that deserves airing. When you seek to jail the opposition for exercising the same right you have crossed a very serious line. When you cross that line you can count on me calling it what it is, fascism.

Again, a valid opinion. Not on point at all in the CObb County sticker case since your assertions don't apply at all, but a valid opinion. If, however, I disagree with you, should I advocate jailing you?
