The school district will incur millions to defend this curriculum. The students not only get crappy science leaving them unfit for advanced science degrees but there’s the lost money that could have been spent so much more wisely on actual, you know, education.

Hope all those xtians like higher property taxes and teens too dumb to go to college in their basements.

Make your kids even more ignorant than they already are. Give up your cultural and financial future to the Chinese, Indians and Europeans. Thank you!

A lot of art, music and history is pretty inexplicable without a grounding in religions. Refusing to teach about creation stories in a class about religion, because some crazy people want to teach (the controversy about) one of the stories in science class is not a good idea at all.
