you agreed w/ that earlier, that they shouldn't teach creationism and id in science didn't you. it would not be outlawed to mention those nonscientific theories. it just is unneccesary to teach it.
teachers can tell them what creationism and id are, that's fine, but they should not teache it like it is science.

Jackie, No they can not teach anything about Creationism. There is no such class as religion classes in public schools as far as I know. The only thing even remotely close when I was in high school was the Bible club that you could meet with during your lunch period in the library. If they would be allowed to teach a class on religion or even mention the Creationism theory or God it would be fine. But there have been so many school boards that have been sued they are so afraid to do or say anything what-so-ever religous. It is sort of how UPN pulled Hassan because they were afraid he would offend someone. That is how ultra sensitive school boards are about Religion and God.
