Did the Teacher cross the line?
No, I know there are some kids that for some reason, would wanna learn that in public school instead of their church that they probably attend. But I know there are more kids that dont wanna hear the Christian religion than there are kids that do. Its a fact. There are more people that aren't Christian than there are Christians.
Kids today dont get 2 ****s about god anyways. Its a new century. This isnt like life back in the 50's. More and more kids are finally questioning why they are Christians. They are Christians only because they were born into it and they want out. I got out of the Christian hivemind and decided to think on my own and I figured out that when your a Christian, you're more likely to be wrong if anything.

Want to watch everyone change chairs?
Instead of a Cross, the teacher burns in a Carbon Credit with Al Gores' signature underneath....

were you touched as a alter boy or what, we get it you hate Christians at a level usually seen only in a abuse victim or a Muslim, but I can tell your not a muslim or you would not be pissy about creationism.
My 2cents
Christ taught against most things done in his name. He did teach how to live a good life. How could that be disputed?
How can someone argue that FACT.
If you can argue that FACT, you do not understand the fundamentals of civilization.

Whoa whoa whoa... Who said "against religion" ??? Are you afraid of science going against religion? That's funny.
And besides.. A public school is ALSO not a place for pushing religious beliefs on kids from any standpoint. Lets be honest. Creation has ~no~ scientific evidence... Sure you will say the bible... But that was written a couple thousand years ago about when if you showed them an ipod they would start calling you god.
Stealth... If they started teaching from the Koran or Torah or about reincarnation I am sure that a good majority of the school's parents would be raising who knows what... Why not be fair to everyone and only teach stuff that can be backed up by evidence and proven?

Or the Star of David.

Yep, from Wiki---but legally, this is where Ohio stands on Creationism as well...
In 1967, the Tennessee public schools were threatened with another lawsuit over the Butler Act's constitutionality, and, fearing public reprisal, Tennessee's legislature repealed the Butler Act. In the following year, 1968, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Epperson v. Arkansas that Arkansas's law prohibiting the teaching of evolution was in violation of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court held that the Establishment Clause prohibits the state from advancing any religion, and determined that the Arkansas law which allowed the teaching of creation while disallowing the teaching of evolution advanced a religion, and was therefore in violation of the 1st amendment Establishment clause. This holding reflected a broader understanding of the Establishment Clause: instead of just prohibiting laws that established a state religion, the Clause was interpreted to prohibit laws that furthered religion. Opponents, pointing to the previous decision, argued that this amounted to judicial activism.
