A big problem, though, as I see it, is one of perception. Christians have a perception about things, and there is also a counter-perception that their concerns are completely unfounded. I think that both can be valid, and I am honestly looking for a middle ground solution to this issue.

The idea that science teachers are indoctrinating children into atheism is a complete canard, promoted by fundamentalist groups to whip up the faithful against the ‘godless athestic evolutionists.’

It’s simply not happening. There is no need for any disclaimers.

What that says to me is that your perception is that some people’s concerns are completely unfounded and that there is no middle ground possible.

That attitude hasn’t exactly stopped these academic freedom bills from popping up.
