I've said it before and I'll say it again, religion is important to teach in schools. I would hope that when my daughter is taught about the history of humanity, all of it's glories and all of it's follies, in there will be at least some mention of religion. Not teaching religion to children is like omitting a whole part of human nature. I want my daughter to understand Christianity, Islam, Judism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all the other religions of the world....that is so long as it's in a history or religion class. Teaching about God in a classroom dedicated to science is the most irresponsible, childish, and entitled thing I've ever heard of. Creationism is to science as Willaim Hung is to music. It's wrong and everyone knows it.
