So students can pray on their own, pray together, pray out loud, read the Bible, organize prayer groups, and meet before school to pray, and they can use school facilities for prayer and announce their prayer meetings over the P.A. system. And then, of course, there are comparative religion and philosophy classes. Is that really not enough opportunity to discuss creation in schools?

That's the law, but how do children enforce such laws when the godless liberal NEA is demanding they not bring their Bibles to school, "because this isn't the place" and so on....???

comparative religion and philosophy courses?

You seem to think this is the rule as opposed to the exception but none of these courses exist k-12 in public schools that I'm aware of in the state of Georgia.

In Georgia, the school board mandated those stickers. The school board in Dover mandated the addition of intelligent design to the curriculum. School boards are political bodies, and those were political actions.

Actually a group of concerned parents initiated that, and lo and behold the simple truth that evolution IS theory and not fact was sued down by godless liberals.

Funny, when concerend parents don't want creation or ID, that's OK, but let some concerned parents speak up in favor of ID/creation, (or in this case even simple facts), which btw, is more often the case, well suddenly that somehow doesn't matter.

“That’s the law, but how do children enforce such laws when the godless liberal NEA is demanding they not bring their Bibles to school, “because this isn’t the place” and so on....???”

—Do you have a source? I’d like to read about that.

“Actually a group of concerned parents initiated that, and lo and behold the simple truth that evolution IS theory and not fact was sued down by godless liberals.”

—The case was about much more than just whether evolution is a “theory”. Every textbook that I know of calls evolution a theory, and so why would a sticker be put on textbook or statement need to be read to that effect? And the vast majority of scientists view evolution as both fact and theory.

“Funny, when concerend parents don’t want creation or ID, that’s OK, but let some concerned parents speak up in favor of ID/creation, (or in this case even simple facts), which btw, is more often the case, well suddenly that somehow doesn’t matter.”

—I would hope that parents would want their children to learn the scientific method and leading scientific theories in science class (what else should it be for?).

So parents who want creationism taught in public schools are "concerned parents," but the parents who don't are "godless liberals." Got it.
