re: #255 Charles

The only possible remedy is for real conservatives who want America to have the best science and science education to speak out against this creationist garbage — LOUDLY.

I know. Good luck with that.

Hi Charles,
I do want the children of the USA to have the best science education. And I am not a creationist. However, I am concerned that parents will just pull their children out of the public schools if the parents feel their religious beliefs are being disrespected. So then we will wind up with a lot of children educated in horrible science programs. Isn’t there a way to gently mollify the religious parents with some show of respect while giving their children a really strong science education? I mean, what benefit do we gain if we have the very best public school science programs but a large number of parents won’t let their children attend the public schools?
