Looks like you can't have beauty and brains. At least not in pageantry. Evolution is a scientific fact. And having evolution as an elective? Are you kidding me? Great, lets make basket weaving mandatory then.

I think you just don't understand layman ( which i hope is the good translation for Laïc ) Both classes shouldn't be optional. Not in a public school. the theory of evolution is something absolutely necessary to be tought, for there are proofs, evidences. Therefor, it IS history, people should know about it, regardless of their cultural beliefs. Religion is based on personal conviction, and therefore don't have it's place in a PUBLIC school.

[SanctusExscidium]

It's hurting my brain to hear so many people say "what you want to believe".

[SanctusExscidium]

So many false equivocation fallacies, so many people ignorant of the scientific definition of the word theory.

Go Minnesota and Vermont! I want to also give the nod to California (California represent!) but I'm pretty hesitant with the way she answered.

Most everyone else sucks.

I do NOT believe we should teach evolution, it is only a THEORY. We should also not teach gravitation, as that is only a theory as well. Students should learn all possibilities in science, including how to read tarot cards, how to write a horoscope, how to properly sacrifice a goat, and how to cleanse a diseased person with a dead bird, blood, yard, cedar wood, and an herb according to the procedure of Leviticus 14.

Quick question to the more religious folks out there: why do u feel that you need to be created by some upper power for your life to have a purpose?

[northerntropics]

Most are idiots, some know that the judges biases will affect their score thus go with both sides, a few state it as it is.
