Maybe you would prefer the 1st amentment to our Constitution.

****
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

****Under our form of government, we elect representatives. They make the “informed” decisions. I see no limit on where they should be denied the right to include religious beliefs, NOR EXCLUDE them from the discussion!

In the topic posing, it mentions that the vast majority of those residents polled, agreed with the decision, after their legislators overwhelming approved it. I think that trumps your personal pet peeves. At least, it does in America.

Sorry, I missed this one last night.

****Under our form of government, we elect representatives. They make the “informed” decisions. I see no limit on where they should be denied the right to include religious beliefs, NOR EXCLUDE them from the discussion!

From that article:

"Jindal ignored those calling for a veto and this week signed the law that will allow local school boards to approve supplemental materials for public school science classes as they discuss evolution, cloning and global warming."

Note that geology is not on that list. You're arguing that we cannot exclude creationism from that subject.
