It's one thing to be upset about being taught specifically that "God" did not create any and/or all things (including Gravity) but I think that someone who gets upset that a school simply not mentioning the word "God", which still would not contradict a parent telling their child that this God did create all things (including gravity) is suffering from severe mental instability.( Dimensio)

To Dimensio,

so.....the several million Catholic parents in Philadelphia who are graduates of and sent their children to Catholic parochial schools are severely mentally unstable?

I don't think so, Dimensio.

No....It is NOT alright for the government using the threat of armed police and foster to FORCE children into an environment that forbids the mentioning of God. This is a hostile act toward the parents and their children and is in violation of our First Amendment on the federal level. It violates state constitutions as well since our state constitutions uphold the principles of our federal document.

Please remember we are guaranteed a right to freedom OF religion NOT freedom FROM religion. Scrubbing the compulsory environment of government schools FROM the mention of God is hostile to the free expression and practice of religion. It also violates the child's and parents right to free assembly.

While I support evolution, I will NEVER advocate that government police, courts, and social workers force evolution or ID on any child.

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education. Parents, teachers, principals, of private schools and admission committees of universities are in the best position to negotiate these matters.

No. I don't make the assumption that said parents would go ballastic should someone tell their children a fact about scientific understanding without mentioning God in any way.
