Publicly Funded Schools That Are Allowed to Teach Creationism.

No, because anybody who believes in creationism is a completely backward person and incapable of rational, critical thought. Even on the off-chance they somehow come up with something that makes sense on another topic, anything they say is suspect.

So, no, we shouldn't be teaching every point of view, because that'd be stupid.

Similarly, I've flagged this article, because it's just another "ho ho ho look how superior we are to those backwards Southerners yes...."

Was that meant to be sarcastic? Because that's rather bigoted. I think that creationism is irrational, but it's a very large jump to say that a person is therefore incapable of critical thought.

My entire post was sarcasm, though reading back through it it is rather dry and non-obvious.
