I do not believe all Conservatives in the US want to force out the teaching of science- just that there is a minority who do. That minority (not restricted to the USA), pose, IMO, a greater threat to the future of the West than any terrorists.
If Creationism is to be taught in science classes, churches should be giving readings from Darwin...

That's the same kind of argument of asking someone the question, "When did you stop beating your wife?"
You should teach each of the theories EQUALLY. If you teach one theory, you should teach the others along with it. This allows the students to LEARN each side of an argument and make up their own minds. To only produce one theory is the same thing as promoting just that theory. And a school should be promoting learning as a whole, and not promoting one theory over all others.
It's like the fact there are schools that do not teach the holocaust because they feel it offends the Muslims that go to school there.

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
