Yes, as a matter of fact. Just as they should be able to decide that only rock music can be taught in their schools. When the citizens of the jurisdiction don't like what is being decided, they elect a new school board. A fine example of a democratic republic in action.

So those in the minority should never have any rights?

You missed my point. They can determine if science can be taught, but can they decide what constitutes science?

Although a really bad analogy for my meaning, the board can determine if rock music be taught but can they determine what rock music is? Or is that only within the purview of musicians?
