If the public were comprised solely of people who believe intelligent design has nothing to do with organized matter that performs specific functions, then frogs would have wings. As it stands, there are many such people who pay taxes for public schools, and the government is forbidden to prevent such ideas and teachings even if they happen to have religious implications; even if they happen to be "public."
I disagree with the notion of public schools altogether, but as long as they're there, they by law must be open to religious points of view, even when such views happen to impinge upon the sciences.
I have an objection to any child or relative of mine, being taught a religious viewpoint in public school, a religious viewpoint, that may be in complete conflict with my own religious viewpoint..tho this is a matter of a religious point of view impinging on science, its also a clear matter of a particular religious viewpoint impinging upon a completely different religious viewpoint...
If anyone wants their children to be taught religious viewpoints in school, there is a vast network of private schools which will be glad to do this very thing....and dont whine about it will cost money...I sent my boys to private school, not for religious reasons, but because I found the public schools horrible(and this was in the late 1970s and 1980s)...we did not make big salaries, we were just ordinary working folks, but we found it way to make it happen, because it was important to us...if we found a way to finance our childrens private school experience, anyone can do it...
All religious points of view, Fester, or just yours?
No need to reply; we already know the answer.
