"Its 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." 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.

appeal to popular opinion, etc etc. Would that include arguing that a majority of Americans have doubts about evolution?
I'm curious how this all out political war is going to be won. In the field and laboratory, or in the legislature?

Evolution is nothing more than multiple fallacies forcing of a model - "hey, THIS must be a transitional form, because my model says transitional forms must exist!"
