"Aren't you suspicious when a school system that can't even teach kids to read at a third-grade level insists on teaching something as extraneous as the origin of human species?" Only if they're spending more time on it in third grade than they are on reading. "My guess is that human evolution will no longer be taught in schools when rational people start to point out that Darwinism was one of the foundations of Nazism." So were calculus and physics. They're taught in schools.

Calculus and physics may have been used to advance Nazism in a military sense, but they in no way formed a philosophical foundation of Nazism.

I once asked an evolutionist to explain why the Holocaust was wrong. His inability to answer that question in a rational manner (it's amazing how quickly a person with a sharp scientific background engages in muddied social discourse at a time like that) led me to question his credibility.
