It’s really very simple. If a student signs up to take a course in biology, that student is there to learn what biologists think.

Any dispruptive behavior is cheating the other students of what they came for. Tuning out means only cheating oneself of learning the basics, even if only to better oppose it later when educated and knowledgable.

What about all the biologists who maintain the only other possibility, Creation/Intelligent Design? Why aren’t they being covered? Either get the government schools out of the origins business, or allow both sides to be represented. If the evos insist on using force to brainwash our children, then that leaves the our side no choice but to wage an all out political war against them. None of this namby-pambi stuff we’ve seen so far...I mean an unrelenting, in-your-face political battle to crush the jackbooted evos and their Commie-ACLU minions once and for all.

Exactly. From the article:

“Faith is not based on science,” Mr. Campbell said. “And science is not based on faith. I don’t expect you to ‘believe’ the scientific explanation of evolution that we’re going to talk about over the next few weeks.”

“But I do,” he added, “expect you to understand it.”

Biology is not an option in many schools. There's no *signing up* for it. You take it.

I fail to see why evos et al feel so obligated to sue every viewpoint but their own out of the classroom. They're costing schools money that they don't have in frivolous lawsuits. Not a responsible way to use the taxpayers money.

Since the exams only ask questions concerning evolution and not other theories or ideas on origins, the simple solution is that parents be given the choice to opt out of the non-evo sections of the class that deal with other thinking and ideas. Then they don't have to worry about their children being *contaminated*by being exposed to any reference to religion; and there won't be the time and money tied up in frivolous lawsuits.

It's a simple solution for those who aren't interested in thought control.

Unfortunately, evolutionists like to conflate 'what biologists think' with 'the basics' when they have nothing at all to do with one another. This is known as the fallacy of equivocation.

Evolution is nothing more than multiple fallacies piled on top of each other. Begging the question is usually first, followed closely by equivocation, appeal to popular opinion, etc etc.
