Most teachers I have known are in the profession because they love it. It must be difficult for them now with the controversy caused by religious groups trying to get their agenda accepted as main stream scientific acceptance. I know we are at fault for electing them but our polititians should be ashamed for not taking the heat off of the teachers in this controversy.
I know there has been a lot written about intelligent design being just another theory but it is obvious to me that it is an agenda being pushed by certain religions whose ultimate goal is the acceptance of creationism by their god. In their view the idea of evolution discredits their religion and they are convincing polititians to help them push their religious ideas.
I do wish the teachers would not just ignore the subject and teach what they know is right but maybe that is too much to expect if their administrators won't back them up.
