I'm confused, why would someone want to proscribe their own viewpoint, and who do you imagine is doing so? And how does one proscribe a viewpoint to the exclusion of others? Isn't that rather an oxymoron, like hiding yourself in an attempt to make other people less visible?
May I ask why you think the federal government should enforce non-theistic thought in a public context?
May I ask why you think I think that? I don't.
May I ask how such a role for federal government comports with conservative principles in general and the founding principles of this nation in particular?
It doesn't, which is why I don't hold such a position.
IMO it should be a hallmark of conservative principles to welcome free expression and free inquiry. Or does free inquiry cease where science begins?
Not at all.
Ain't no spellchecker gonna catch that one. Make that "prescribe," please.
Thank you. Otherwise, perhaps I am mistaken. For some reason I thought you were of the opinion that the shaping principle of intelligent design should be omitted from public education by law.
