re: #21 freetoken

A teacher told a student that creationism was a silly idea. Said teacher was chastised by the school and taken to court by the family (egged on and supported by the creationist lobby.)

I think we have a two edged sword there. While the school has no business teaching religion, the teacher should not mock the kids beliefs either. A little tact would seem to be in order. This is from a agnostic Darwinist.
