LOL!!!!
That’s simply not true at all!
That’s an outRAAAAAgeous statement to make!
If it WERE true I SERIOUSLY doubt we’d have so much turmoil in the courts, over this incessant polarizing culture war, not just in science but across the board!
The main problem is hardly some effort to create a theocracy or proselytize, but an effort in response to PRESERVE what’s under systematic ATTACK!
Attaching stipulations like “anywhere but science class” isn’t a BIT different than saying Christianity is fine, just as long as I don’t have to hear it, or it’s kept behind closed doors in churches on Sunday where it belongs, as long as it isn’t heard in public, in courtrooms, in government, blah blah blah blah, blah...
I’m not saying every child should have to study ID or even forced to acknowledge it as science, OTHER THAN some people consider it a viable THEORY to stand alone evolution, presented as such, in science class.
For all I care, the teacher can say something like: ID is a theory that some people accept as scientific, some don’t, even most (either way). It’s not rather it’s right or wrong, but but about the search for truth as we know it scientifically. Perhaps one day enough new information will lead scientists to different conclusions one way or another, and there are books in the library to further explore it, but for now, evolution, even with all it’s shortcomings will be explored.
It shouldn’t be hidden from public or ridiculed in other words, ANYWHERE!
Further, if a student genuinely, at some point has a simple question related to it, he’s not scared to ask it AND the teacher isn’t worried to answer either.
Of course if it’s clear he’s being a smart-@ss, that’s different, and that’s true of all kids pushing the envelope...they’ll hijack ANYTHING to be disruptive, get out of work, etc.
But all too often what we have now, is the Bible, or prayer or even simply public acknowledgement; as if it’s something to be ashamed of, just like when a child asks innocently from a teacher “Does God exist”? OR “Which is right, science class or religion class”? and is told that subject is taboo...BANNED from the hallways of public schools...science class...EVERYWHERE! Gets lectured about the runaway socialization and robotic programming about separation of church and state pathologies, CAN’T PRAY, CAN’T READ THE BIBLE, CAN’T EVEN SO MUCH AS MENTION JESUS AT GRADUATION WITHOUT BEING THREATEND WITH ARREST!
Yup, that too happened as if this is Stalinist Russia!
So I guess I see the whole issue in a complete different way than you do, and would therefore re-phrase the question, MUST creation, ID, and when you come right down to it, GOD; be hidden at any and all costs, in some ridiculous way as to make most everyone uncomfortable in ANY classroom?
Oh brother. Your increasingly strident attempts to portray Christians in this country as persecuted victims of horrifying religious repression is just hyperbolic nonsense. Go to church, for crying out loud. You know, one of those approximately 300,000 buildings across the country with a cross in front.
