Evolution is how God does things.
It is fact, and therefore should be taught.

Religion has no place in our schools.
Religion belongs in our churches, synagogues and mosques.
Private schools have the right to teach children whatever they want within the confines of the law.

Tolerance of religious beliefs should never be confused with promotion of those beleifs.
We should tolerate belief systems, as long as they are lawful.
But this country was founded to provide a place where religion is tolerated.
America is NOT a place were religious people lead our government or teach in our schools.
That is illegal under our laws.
Jesus tells us to obey the laws and the commandments, and to love one another as He loved us.
Religiously based governments have always been a miserable failure.  The demise of the evil Holy Roman Empire is proof of that.
Thank the Lord that certain Americans have prevented the religious fascists from usurping power and violating the law of this wonderful land.  God bless you.
