Richard Bridge,

"If people teach folly they should be treated as fools. Irrespective of age."
"Go and damage impressionable children elsewhere. Or better still not at all. "

What are you trying to teach us? That the children of fundamentalists are NOT damaged until they get to school and only then when there is a paragraph about creationism in their texts?

No it is far better that they learn to judge what is useful for themselves. Give them all sides. If the event that they keep their literalist world view, teach them enough to be able to separate dogma and data at least enough to be scientists and technologists.
