Two Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill to ban public schools from teaching "intelligent design" as science, saying "pseudo-science" should have no place in the classroom. ( gobucks)

To All:

Is there anyone here that would deny that evolution/ID no matter how presented to the students WILL have religious consequences for all the children in the school?????

The point of conflict here isn't evolution or ID. NO!

The problem is that we have government schools!

Government schools can not be neutral politically, culturally, and morals/ethics/values ( that means religion).

Government has created a price-fixed monopoly of schools that has made private schools scarce and exclusive. Then when the parent has no other choice, the government threatens parents with armed police, court, and foster care action if they do not send their child to the government indoctrination center.

Only government could think up something so fiendishly evil!

Once in the government indoctrination center, the child will be subjected to the curriculum of the biggest political bully. (The evolution and ID bullies are struggling hard to win this)

Evolution and ID conflict is only one among HUNDREDS of issues that WILL have political, cultural, and religious consequences for all the children in the government school!

So....to those conservatives who remember a government school system that affirmed your Christian worldview. GIVE IT UP! You are not going to reform government schools and remake them into institutions you remember as a child.

The solution: Begin the process of destroying government schooling and replacing it with universal private K-12 education.

Why do you assume those who are pro-evolution are pro- forced public schooling or anti-homeschooling? That is a false assumption.

Furthermore, when the people institute an alternative (vouchers) the FL SC gets activist and has the fix in.
