Ditto with evolution. The students need to understand what the ToE says and learn why all biologists accept it. (If there were any biologists who don't the ID/CR-istrs would let us know.)
Even if they don't like it or believe it. ( Virginia American)
To Virginia-American,
You are a bully and are lobbying for government armed police, courts, and social workers to FORCE your educational philosophy on other people's children.
As I have posted earlier, I attended a Catholic parochial school that taught that all of the universe and its laws were created by God. That included F=ma.
While I no longer am a Catholic and believe that the laws of physics are eternal, unlike you I have more scruples than to suggest that armed police, courts, and social workers FORCE my educational philosophy on other people's children.
You are a bully and are lobbying for government armed police, courts, and social workers to FORCE your educational philosophy on other people's children. Tell MALDEF. I think the kids have to learn English, too, even if the parents are activists for La Raza.
And no, I don't think I'm forcing an educational philosophy (whatever that means). I'm stating that all kids need to be taught science. Part of science is the fact that biologists, overwhelmingly, support ToE. The kids need to learn the theory and the supporting evidence.
Do you really think Christian Scientist students should be excused from science, health, hygene, sex-ed, etc classes, because their parents claim (IMO pretend, in order to attract attention) not to accept germ theory? You really want waiters who scoff at the need to wash after peeing? (Let's hope the restaurant owner believes in germ theory!)
