Just a comment
I find it interesting that all of the responses but one have come from people who are actually supporters of teaching the TOE.

Haven't heard from the Goat lately
The post you responded to is about two years old and I haven't seen the Goat around for several months.
Edited by jar, : No reason given.

mocking Christianity
Well if they want to teach evolution they can, but I will never agree that teachers have the right to mock Christianity in a school classroom, wither it be only 1 Christian student in the classroom. Their job is to teach biology not Darwinism/Humanism or even what the teachers own belief supports!
Teaching that evolution is a fact and that the TOE is the best explanation, no, the only explanation to date is not mocking Christianity.
I am a Christian. if these teachers ever do this to my(future)offspring, I will indeed beat them until they apologize for their own ignorance!
Classic it seems. The Christian Cult of Ignorance seems to move directly to violence. I suppose that is because they have never been taught reason.
I believe God holds the man/father accountable for what his family do,say,and believe. Therefor since I believe this, I hope many of you understand why I would be angry with those teachers.
I believe it is my responsibility as when I start a family, God will hold me accountable, because if I fail and do not be responsible, God will indeed strike his wrath on me, but not my family, for they look to me for guidance. So I disagree that this should be a requirement for a student to actually graduate from a public school.
Well, it looks like your God is a sexist bigot as well as one that promotes ignorance over knowledge. It also appears your God too moves straight to violence. Likely your God never learned how to reason either.
There is a separation of Church and State, therefor I also believe if the state tampers/messes with a childes belief(exp:Christianity)and is also treading on dangerous territory, because the state will be teaching someones child what the State/non-parent believes. I simply do not care if its up to the child to choose what he/she believes, The man/father is held responsible and accountable for His family. I am not sexist, but I do believe that women will not be held responsible, nor accountable for their family as much as a man will be. I read in the Bible, that man is the provider and caretaker of his family(provide guidance & the responsibility of caring for them). I'm sorry, but I will not fail to provide and care for my family, therefor SUFFER GOD'S WRATH, just because a man/woman wants to share their beliefs(Atheism/Humanism/Darwinism/Paganism/Evolution)with someone else that isn't your child or apart of your family. I WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE & I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MY FAMILY! AMEN!
So put your kids in one of the many Christian Cult of Ignorance Avoidance schools where they can be sheltered from being exposed to truth, honesty, knowledge, ethics, morals or critical thinking.

We will see
It remains to be seen however he has also claimed that two biology teachers were killed for teaching evolution "out in the country" so it will be interesting to see what this story is.
