Materialism is a worldview. Those folks want a monopoly whereby their worldview (and only their worldview) can be presented in schools. We can't even question their worldview and indicate that some people see it as controversial.

I see it as a Constitutional violation. To willfully and thoroughly exclude God is to promote atheism. Atheism is a religion and it has become the official national religion of the government.

That is exactly the way I see it. That’s why I call the evolution-only establishment the “Temple of Darwin.” Thanks for your thoughtful reply—GGG

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I see government schools as an impossible to resolve conundrum. The only possible constitutional and freedom of conscience solution is to begin moving to a completely private system of K-12 schooling.

With regard to God, there are only two possible choices for any school to make: It must be either God-centered in its worldview or godless. Neither worldview is religious, politically, or culturally neutral in content or consequences.

It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral school! Therefore...No matter what decisions a government schools will make concerning evolution, materialism, or hundreds of other issues, the government **will** establish the religious, cultural, and political worldview of some while actively undermining the worldview of others.

All government schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. Please...We must stop trying to reform the impossible. The only solution is to begin moving to a completely private system of education.

This is an important concept to understand. It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral school.

If our Founding Fathers could have foreseen our system of government run, compulsory attendance, and compulsory funded government schools, they would have included complete separation of state and SCHOOL in the Constitution and all state constitutions.

ALL government schools are a freedom of conscience abomination!
