I have no problem with anyone wanting to believe in creationism. I will not, however, tolerate it being taught in the classroom "alongside evolution" unless the school that does this is privately funded. In a public school where my tax dollars go, whether I want them to or not, I am not funding creationism. You may not want to fund evolution but evolution is science and it has evidence behind it so it should be taught in a science class. Creationism is religion and does not belong in a science class. In short, evolution is fact, creationism is belief. So all of society should fund science in the classroom and that must include evolution. If parents wish to further fund creationsism, then they should found a school specifically for that purpose and fund it themselves.
