If people want their kids to learn about creationism in school they need to send them to a private school. Because schools are state funded and America has that whole seperation of church and state thing going on people need to drop it. Some people see teaching evolution as going against their religious freedom because it undermines the teaching that God created man and woman.

Me personally I don't want to see children ever have a choice between learning evolution or creationism. The choice will not be the children's choice but those of their parents. Just like the choice of taking sex ed or not now. It is not like children can not learn both things at the same time. If people want their beliefs, values, morals, and whatever else passed on to their children it is up to them to do it not the state.

Anyone that grew up in a religious family or enviorment where taught the basics of creationism at an early age. And if they wish to learn more about it then that is a choice they should be allowed to make after learning about evolution so that can give informed consent.


As for teachers teaching fairy tales there have been penty of those told in the name of science over the years: pluto being a planet, the earth is flat, the big bang theory, and etc. Science does not know how everything started and can only trace things back so far. For all anyone knows maybe there is some big God in the heavens that really did create everything or maybe this life of ours is just a freak of nature. Both science and religion think they know but they are both just making shots in the dark and it is up to us to chose one and have faith that it is the right choice.
