RE: hmmm.....

A school board in the sunflower state proscribed the teaching of evolutionion in their schools, or at least forbade it without giving religious assertions as to the why's and wherefore's of life's existence equal time and credence.

Less well known: NASA recently apologized to the Navajo Nation after crashing a capsule containing cremated astronomer on the moon. I cannot remember what insult was conveyed by the dead astronomer-moon impact.

Roads and highways are a good example, because they cut across local and sometimes state boundaries. However, private colleges and universities seem to work fine, why not grade school? I suppose if there was a great demand in a community for a school which did not teach evolution, then such a school would appear. And if all the parents who want such a school don't believe in evolution, then I guess they ought to have the right to have their kids educated in accordance with their principles and values, even if they seem outrageously ignorant to us.
