But that's precisely the same problem. Since pols and scientists have got to - by law - mollycoddle the ignorant and the just plain stupid. the creeping crud that is creationism is allowed to creep into school curricula. People with brains have got to start standing up and pointing out that not all ideas have equal merit, and that creationist lunacy doesn't qualify as science, does not merit 'equal time' with science classes, and - if it belongs in a publically funded school at all - it should be moved over to comparative religion or current events courses.
