True Christianity (I can’t speak for Judaism) is NOT about power, and this drive to control the curriculum seems to be just that.
I will say, however, that I would not want a science teacher to tell my children that evolutions proves that there is not God—that’s teaching religion as much as YEC is.
I don’t want a professor teaching that to my kids either. The thing is, you can teach evolution as a purely scientifically proven fact and never bring God into it at all. Evolution doesn’t prove that there is no God, it simply seeks to explain how things happened. I have no problem with my kids learning about evolution. I want God OUT of the public school system. He doesn’t belong there, he belongs in church and in your heart but not force-fed to people who don’t want Him.
