“At least we Christians never forced our ways down others throats…” I dinged you up for that part of your comment, but seriously, I don’t see atheists as the ones who want the Texas Board meetings to be held under public view. I rather suspect that a LOT of scientists are people of faith, not atheists. The problem is if you say it’s OK for a Christian Agenda to play a role in the science curriculum of PUBLIC SCHOOLS, than intellectual honesty would, I think, at least under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, require you to teach other religions in Science class.
And frankly I wouldn’t want any children of mine to be taught anything about religion by the Public Schools - I’d take that as my resonsibility.

Exactly. Children of ALL faiths go to public schools. How responsible would it be if Christian ideals were taught to Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, etc.
