That's because in the fucking bible belt they don't leave the school....they just pour jesus directly into the kids' heads!

I live in the bible belt, and in the larger cities this doesn't happen much in my experience, but it does in the rural areas.

At least it keeps that shit out of the schools and hopefully keeps those kids too dumb to get into college.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

In Utah, Mormon seminary is built into the curriculum at high schools. I think it's done in Colorado as well. At least in Oregon the kids have to leave school to do it.

I guess there really are a lot of people that believe freedom of religion just means freedom to practice whatever form of christianity you want.
