Interesting post and links at Word Munger regarding self-censoring in the teaching of evolution.
Perhaps our public schools should offer concerned parents a waiver from the teaching of evolution. Not by teaching creation science and neglecting the teaching of evolution, but rather by letting parents opt out of teachings that do not conform to the bible. The would have the opportunity to keep their children from the secular explanations of the universe propounded by anthropology, biology, chemistry, ecology, and physics. Perhaps they could have study hall or gym during the time they would otherwise be in these classes. They could be allowed to read the bible in study hall. And sex education too (or health), that would be another opt out. And maybe English, to the extent that it covers secular texts. We could leave out non-christian history too, in order to avoid any appeal that a non-christian society might have. But math would remain.
Oh and presumably, these kids, once adults would have the good sense to make use of those people who learned anthropology, biology, chemistry, ecology and physics and those things which use science. Or maybe not.

Warning: Sweater vests are not dashing. Leather vests are. Or maybe a nice tweed blazer with patches on the elbows.
Hot stuff.
Leather elbows on a tweed coat? Is that the best you can do?
Well, what kind of a budget are we working with here? Are you going for the starved college prof thing with that sweater vest? One step upgrade to the tweed jacket and you've automatically gained a bright, smiling, perky breasted fan girl.
For a few more dollars, however, you could get some real clothes and start rockin the Dolce and Gabbana. Much classier broads, but they expect presents.
Oh -- wait -- you have a wife! It doesn't matter what you wear, as long as she likes it.
