As I’ve said, I’ve dealt with this pathology before:

Speaking up against the endless rage aimed at God and believers doesn’t mean the one speaking out is full of rage.

Speaking up for what is right doesn’t make it worng.

Pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t make one a hypocrite.

SPEAKING OUT AGAINST CENSORSHIP DOESN’T MAKE ONE A CENSOR.

However, just on the subject of being an American, EVERY citizen should be enraged at the ACLU and others not so much because of religion but because they’re so anti-American!

The teaching of evolution in high school is relatively new. I have a collection of high school biology textbooks from my era, and they don't even list the word evolution in the index.

Evolution wasn't mentioned in high school biology from about the time of the Scopes trial until around 1980. The primary reason for this is that the state of Texas wouldn't buy a textbook that taught evolution, and they were such a big market the publishers simply omitted the concept.

You'll have a lot better luck getting public support against them if you concentrate on talking about things that have actually happened.

When you start making claims you can't back up you end up looking like a paranoid fool.
