Wired News: "Separation of Church and Science
President Bush told reporters Monday that schools should teach the conservative Christian doctrine of intentional or divine creation, called 'intelligent design,' along with evolution. He refused to discuss his personal beliefs but said, 'I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought. You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.' A rebuttal can be found in a 1999 statement from the National Academy of Sciences: 'The claim that equity demands balanced treatment of evolutionary theory and special creation in science classrooms reflects a misunderstanding of what science is and how it is conducted. Creationism, intelligent design and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science.'

Well, if you allow one religion to be taught - you better allow them all. I look forward to a 'Red-State Scandal' when a Teacher decides to talk equally about Creationism, Wicca, Buddhism, Islam, etc. in school. Hey, fair is fair, right?
