Splintering our Education System based on FAITH

Holmes, what do you mean by "splintering of education"? Do you mean that colleges would have to accept students with different levels of understanding of mainstream concepts in science, history, etc.? I don't see why they should have to do that.Or do you mean splintering of secondary education? If so, it's already splintered, simply because there is already home-schooling, "Christian Academies" etc. where evolution and semi-related concepts aren't taught, or are taught only as something bad and wrong.I agree it's hypocritical to suggest that it's OK for anti-evolutionists to go their own way, but not for Holocaust deniers etc. to do the same, but I'm skeptical about what effects such things would have on education in general.My wife is a biology professor, and she's had students who were brought up to disbelieve evolution, and some of them turned out to be good students, while others weren't (same as the regular kids).

Here's an interesting development in the "splintering" issue, which comes from (surprise!) Florida:http://www.alligator.org/pt2/050323freedom.php"TALLAHASSEE Republicans on the House Choice and Innovation Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill that aims to stamp out leftist totalitarianism by dictator professors in the classrooms of Florida’s universities."And:"Some professors say, ‘Evolution is a fact. I don’t want to hear about Intelligent Design (a creationist theory), and if you don’t like it, there’s the door,’ Baxley said, citing one example when he thought a student should sue."Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, warned of lawsuits from students enrolled in Holocaust history courses who believe the Holocaust never happened."Similar suits could be filed by students who don’t believe astronauts landed on the moon, who believe teaching birth control is a sin or even by Shands medical students who refuse to perform blood transfusions and believe prayer is the only way to heal the body, Gelber added.
