But if some group wants to force evolution only on the schools, it's OK because those purporting it claim the respectability and backing of *science*. They're smarter and therefore know better what is best for all of us.

Therefore, ignoring the wishes of the parents, whose children are the ones being educated and who are paying for the school system, is justified because they really don't know better and what's best for them, so they need to have the courts decide it for them.

NOT!

This is quite absurd. If you're going to teach biology, you have to include evo. If it's questioned, it is necessary to point out that 99+% of biologists think it's true. This makes it part of science.

It seems ast though you're treating evolution as if it were some sort of belief or something like that. This is incorrect; it's part of the science of biology.

I understand that evo is taught in science and why. My objection is *only* evo. Creation was taught in schools for as long as, well, until the ACLU got involved. Since then it has been slowly but surely edged out and banned. People want it BACK in schools; not introduced as if it had never been there before, just put back where it always had been.
