Good post. As far as my opinion, I would like to see a very high wall between church and state. As for education, our schools have enough problems without using them as political battlegrounds, which is exactly what is going on here. Let's focus more on paying our teachers a decent wage and improving test scores and forget about all of this religious debate. There is a place for everything, but this creationism and intelligent design have no place in our public schools, in my humble opinion. Leave religion up to the parents and churches, use our schools to teach our children what they need to know to make it through life.
