"In addition, members of a committee that advised state education officials on Ohio's science curriculum said the standards improperly single out the theory of evolution and could lead to the teaching of religion.

That's what the biggest fear is. And, that is a violation of the constitution. There is no law against the teaching of religion. It's up to the people of that community to decide if they want the public school THEY pay for to teach religion. The issue has nothing to do with science, it's a battle of religions, and evolution is every bit as much a religion.

Oh, and BTW, if the numerous eye witness accounts, piles of corpses aren't enough "proof" for you, something is seriously wrong with your reasoning. Not only were Jews killed by Hitlers craziness, but many others, Christians mainly, gypsies, blacks, anyone not displaying the qualities of his master race vision.

My own great grandfather survived those death camps, and he wasn't Jewish either.

And,,,Nathah Zachary,,,is a semi bully who would allow local neighbors to drive a nail into the head of freedom of conscience.

Nathan,,It is just as wrong for a small community to impose their worldview on the minority as it is for a large group to trample freedom of conscience.

You see, Nathan, even small schools, even if they were as small as a suburban subdivision block WILL trample freedom of conscience of some of the parents on that block.

Evolution has profound religious consequences for all the children in the schools. It is parents, teachers, and principals who should be addressing this delicate aspect of religious consequences in private settings and in ***private** schools.

Oh,,,,and evolution is merely ONE of HUNDREDS of curriculum and policy issues that have profound NON-neutral political, cultural, and religious consequences.

That's precisely the problem. A blanket statement noting that all theories -- gravity, relativity, evolution, round-earth geography, whatever -- are subject to change pending further evidence would be fine.
