I skipped biology, fortunately.  Later on, I would read Darwin's Origin of Species, and so, that's the only biology that I have had.  Here recently, I sent an email to a creationist state House member, a Republican.  I am waiting on her reply, but as it has been nearly 4 days, I don't think that I am going to receive one.

Still, your story reminds me of a story told by one of my Dad's ex-girlfriends.  She went to her high school one day wearing a long skort, and was immediately sent home to change into a skirt for having not "dressed like a lady."  How times have changed!!

Not at religious schools, I'm sure.  They're just as backwards as they always were.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
