Science is controversial if it disagrees with religion


It is absolutely crazy that schools are required to acknowledge every laughably incredible religious idea because science becomes 'controversial' when it disagrees with myth. A Seattle school board voted to prevent schools from showing the film An Inconvenient Truth unless the teachers also present "a credible, legitimate opposing view" as well. Um, where would one find that? Does a bible thumper count as "credible?" Not in my book.

"Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old."

How are teachers able to teach anything legitimate if religion and politics are allowed to decide the meaning of truth? I don't like what science says about climate change, lets vote it off the island.
