No, they're not. Deliberately hiding science from children is not a decent act. If they're "teaching" creationism and evo, it's possible to do that in a responsible manner, I guess, but not if it involves lying about the science or the status of evo within science; for example "tteaching the conroversy", when in fact there is no scientific controversy, is lying.
*Christian* schools are not necessarily *Catholic* schools...
Parochial schools are the largest class of Christian schools. I don't know anything about Abeka.
If the along with evo is forgotten, it does make getting into college harder.

Oops, "along with evo" should have been quoted.
Yes, it gets back to the thinking that the ignorant masses need someone who *knows better* than them what is best for them, to make decisions for them, all for their own good of course, because they are incapable of knowing that, too.
That's not what I said. What I said was that if you want a decent curriculum on any subject, you consult experts on that subject. Evo is not an exception. I didn't say that the masses can't learn science, just that most of them haven't. Thus, the need for experts.

I've long suspected that some of the objection to the ToE stems from an anti-elitism feeling. "What makes them so good, to know so much?"
