Parents and school boards are not qualified to make decisions about science curriculums. Only biology teachers and biologists are qualified to do this. Not teaching evolution or dumbing down evolution is child abuse. The students are being cheated. They learn how to hate science because without evolution they think it's boring. Evolution is the strongest fact of science and foundation of biology. Evolution must be part of every biology lesson. The Christians can brainwash their children all they want but they have no right to tell biology teachers how to do their jobs.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
