The measure would require science curriculums to describe only natural processes and follow definitions from the National Academy of Sciences.

Sounds reasonable, but naturally only public schools should be affected

To neutrality,

It is NOT reasonable for government to be forcing this on resistant children.

How the topic of the origins of life is approached has profound religious, cultural, and political consequences for all the children in the school. The government school can NOT approach this topic without establishing, supporting, upholding and affirming the religion of some of the students and trashing and subverting that of others.

The solution is to get government OUT of the k-12 education business!

Education of the young can never be politically, culturally, or religiously neutral in content or consequences.

By the way, I support the theory of evolution. BUT,,,I would never threaten a parent with armed police, court, or foster care action if they did not subject their child to my educational philosophy.

I support evolution, but I would NEVER threaten my fellow citizen with the sheriff's auction of their home or business to pay for it.

Remember that is the power that government schools have over our lives. ( REAL bullets in those guns on the hip!)
