"The board made a clear statement and said 'no' to pseudo-science,"

Well I'm releaved. That ought to remove any ID or creationism from the classroom.

I used to support Christians, because I think the lifestyle of most of the Southern Baptists I grew up with is superior. But this argument about creationism, which I was taught in church to be inaccurate, has hardened me against christians in general. Mainly because of the bull-headedness and un-Christlike attitude of many ID and creationism supporters.

I just wonder how Christians would like it if "criticisims of religion", like criticisims of evolution, were taught in school. It's easy to come up with bogus arguments against things. The flat-earth people have some pretty good arguments that can convince someone who doesn't know much about the subject.

I'll never let my kids go to a government school.

Well, I let them use the soccer field and playground.

Just so long as they pay the teachers and administrators no attention whatsoever.

It has arrived...with schoolchildren being taught what Ramadan is and how it feels to fast for the month.

The IDers have cooked their own goose. Proliferation of "religious tolerance" indoctrinations will now flourish. Profound apologies to the crevos, but you can't have it both ways. Either religion is kept out of public schools (including ID), or ALL need to be presented.

No releaving until springtime. Releaving now would be an evolutionary dead end.
