Evolution should be taught in science class (there is no scientific basis for anything else).

Homosexuality in health class is a much different story.

I’ve never had a problem with evolution being taught in a science class as long as the problems with the theory are appropriately covered. Of course, ideologues like to pretend that the theory is indisputable, when it clearly is not.

Teaching homosexuality in a health class where its health risks are dealt with is also appropriate. But, as you know, that’s not the way it is approached — I won’t be surprised when I hear that some leftist teacher has informed her class that homosexuality is normal and that heterosexuals are “queers” to be shunned by all thinking people.

I don't mind the teaching of evolution theory in science class ... as long as, at a minimum, it is balanced by representation of the PROBLEMS with evolution theory.

“Homosexuality” in “health” class seems sort of like an oxymoron, doesn’t it?

"Homosexuality in health class is a much different story."

Unless it's to educate the young 'uns about the various health problems - physical, mental, and moral - associated with it.

In our Christian school we teach the falsehoods of the religion of evolution and the health problems of homosexuality. In Canada too.

Why must the government force children to learn Darwinism, especially when they can barely read, add or spell? What advantage does it give them?

What is the practical necessity for teaching evolution in a biology class, except that the information might be on a standardized test? A person can do quite well in any field without reference to the a hypothesis about the origins of man? That kind of hypothesis is the source of controversy.
