| Re: Thank Darwin Actually I am for teaching multiple theories in school. Part of learning is how to think, how to research, and how to reason. Unfortunately most school is now about regurgitating what the teacher spewed (either required or thiers). If taught with details a student should be able to reason to the best choice while considering that it may be incorrect and that alternatives currently exist or may be possible (thus it is a THEORY).

| Re: Thank Darwin I don't think that the public schools ought to be trusted to teach any subject that requires faith or belief. Do it yourself, folks.
Just as I taught my kids that certain of their teachers were unmitigated assholes, I also taught them that they need to take what skills they can from school and learn what they really need know about life from experience.  at Bake, the connoisseur of ****-stirrers.. |

Further I think it would be wise to teach children that the earth is flat then walk through the theories that got us to today. The illustration that provides is very instructive.

11 people bringing suit against a school board is significant, since they're potentially sharing actual costs.
Read on - the community has voted out 8 of 9 members of that school board. That's an indisputable majority. |

I think most have something to teach. While I have my preference, devout people I have met are wonderful humans regardless of which they attend.

| Re: Thank Darwin While I agree that one can find moronic assholio "teachers" in a gubmint skool without taking five steps, there are also many good teachers stuck in the gubmint system. Most would be glad to drop the gubmint indoctrination crap for a chance to actually educate children in a real school. |
