I don't mind it if government employees can call a tree a "Christmas" tree. It's a Menorah too, not a candle holder. Sing "Silent Night" in school, fine with me.
But when a small and vocal number of Christians attempt to insert actual religious dogma into science class and imply that it is fact, then that's over the top. With the strong education and scientific culture in the Jewish community, I don't doubt it a bit that the recent fad of pushing creationism in public schools pushes their button.
Traditions are traditions, and scientific facts are scientific facts, and the two should not mix.
I'm not so sure. When I was in school, we were taught Creation and evolution as theories (along with Big Bang). I think it should be taught to inform everyone of another viewpoint (that it exists). They don't need to dwell on all the minutia - leave it up to those interested in Creation the ability to explore it more by studying the Bible.
Creation, by the way, is in the Torah and is not a wholly Christian concept.
