<blockquote><blockquote>Is there actually a school system anywhere in America where "My Two Dads" is part of the official curriculum? </blockquote> If that's accurate then it seems a lot like the Texas ciriculum in question. Neither have been implemented and both have their supporters who would like to see them implemented. While I am one billion percent certain the basic theory of Evolution is accurate I can understand those who oppose it for religious reasons. Some Christians see teaching evolution as the Public School telling their children that their religion is a scam. And you may say "Well their religion IS a friggin scam" and I'd understand that sentiment too. But when the people who believe in Creationism are the majority, they are going to do their best to preserve(and further) their beliefs. I say teach them both as theories and let the chips fall where they may, but like with a lot of things today a line has been drawn in the sand and you're "either with us or against us".</blockquote> The problem I have with this is that you're allowing pure ignorance to infect science classes. I think (and I think most people think) that what's taught in science classes should be SCIENCE. Not bullshit mythology. The Scopes Trial took place almost a century ago and made Tennessee the laughingstock of the nation. If Texans allow these uneducated anti-science characters to mandate the teaching of Creationism as science then Texas becomes the Boob Capital of the Western world. I would think educated Texans would be fighting this hammer and tong, not wimping out with stuff like "teach them both as theories." There's no scientific evidence for Creationism. None. If you want to have a World Religion/Mythology class that presents creation myths I'm all for it, but teaching this garbage in science classes is just irrational.
