Scientists would consider biology something that really matters, and evolution the fundament of that subject. In any case, I hardly see how a subject that doesn't seriously come until high school has any effect on people learning to read, which is done at an earlier level.

Actually, no one has said that you can't pray or promote your religion or have religious writings in school; merely that the school can't do so. -- David Starner - dvdeug@email.ro Ic sæt me on anum leahtrice, ða com heo and bát me!
