does evolution have all the holes filled in or is it still considered a theory?
(that's not a rhetorical question by the way....I honestly want to know)
I guess the issue is, that NO other theories are considered because they
might point to religion. The public school system needs to figure out if they are going to be an indoctrination center or a learning center. Either they promote all or none and if that means that schools don't get to teach subjects that cannot remain neutral, then so be it, language and math are the most important subjects for real world living anyway.
another thought, maybe if christians were not booted out at every turn, maybe we wouldn't be so sensitive and frustrated .....

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — An Ohio middle school teacher says he won't obey an order to remove a Bible from view of students.
John Freshwater said Wednesday he agreed to remove a collage from his classroom that included the Ten Commandments, but that asking him to remove the Bible on his desk goes too far.
Officials with the Mount Vernon School District say they don't oppose religion but are required by the U.S. Constitution not to promote or favor any set of religious beliefs.
Freshwater says being forced to keep the Bible out of sight would infringe on his rights.
Mount Vernon is about 40 miles northeast of Columbus.
