"If a poll shows a majority of Americans think we should teach creationism in schools, we should just go with the flow?" he asked. "There's this messy thing called the Constitution we have to deal with."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Should students be exposed to evolution against their will? Should they be forced into an environment that is hostile to their religious beliefs and actively undermines their most cherished family traditions?

If it is unconstitutional to subject students to creationism then it is unconstitutional to FORCE evolution on children believing in creationism.

So what about the Constitution?

1) It is IMPOSSIBLE for any education of the young to be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. IMPOSSIBLE! That should automatically rule out any government involvement in education of the young. No matter what the government chooses regarding curriculum and policies, the government school WILL be establishing, promoting, and upholding the religious beliefs of some while actively, deliberately, and possibly maliciously trashing the religious beliefs of others.

2) All schools MUST restrict free speech, free press, free expression of religion, and free assembly. If they didn't chaos would reign. When government schools FORCE children into their centers and then tell them to shut up, ban their publications, restrict their religious practices, and tell them with whom they may or may not assemble, then government schools are TRASHING our state and federal constitutions.

What are government schools?

They are politically, culturally, and religious NON-neutral. They can and do threaten parents and children with armed police, court, and foster care action if the parents and children do not cooperate with them. Government schools have the power to sell at sheriff's auction the home and/or business of those citizens who refuse to hand over money to pay for the non-neutral government political, cultural, and religious indoctrination of government schools.

Should students be exposed to evolution against their will?

You're on to something.

When I was in school they exposed me to uncounted attrocitys (against my will).

There was History, English, Math, Science, Latin. Spending all my time chasing girls is a cherished family tradition don'tyaknow.

The bible is not a science text, get over it.

Should students be exposed to evolution against their will? Should they be forced into an environment that is hostile to their religious beliefs...

One word: Homeschooling. Now please stop complaining.
