That's an understandable assumption, but that isn't how the bill was presented in the article provided. I think it is important for children to understand the falability of science while recognizing its usefulness in understanding the world around us. By adding religious studies into the curriculum you only further enhance the child's learning. I don't support any kind of one way education. Bias can be devastating to development.
So you want to water down biology class time (the study of life) with religious discussions?
So one day the kids can focus on plant cells, the next they can discuss what methods Jehovah may have used to create the universe?
Then the next day they can discuss how Allah created the universe..
Then right there every single Christian kid will be yanked out of class, because they arent like you Perhaps, and they only agree with your post only if it gets their (and only their) religion in the door. As soon as some other religion gets presented with equal pomp and circumstance they start snatching up the kids.
Its bad enough that they are allowed to sign their kids out of evolution study....honestly Perhaps...lets be realistic about this. All you are doing wether you know it or not is destroying science education by allowing such a bad idea
