Most public school children are being denied an education to prepare them for living in this world.....while the major focus of concern is the teaching of creationism or evolution.

Too pathetic.

There are plenty of other good threads on FR that deal with the general dumbing down of education in America (in subjects besides science). The dumbing down of evolutionary science (which, in the mind of its antagonists, deals also with many other fields of science as well, ranging from geology to astrophysics) is a part of this dumbing down. Coyoteman and many others here happen to have the expertise to deal with this particular aspect of the 'dumbing down', so they choose to do so.

Why is that "pathetic"? This fact that there is a bigger problem does not justify ignoring one if its constituent parts.
