Well if they do, i am going to tell the school to opt me out of being taught about electricity, i personally think it is devil magic [j/ks.]. And writing, another gift of the devil....

Evolution is generally NOT taught in schools.....

A child's right to a proper education supersedes a parent's right over how they raise their children. So, no.

I support this move. I go further to say that we should stop teaching physics and chemistry in school. These so called 'science' are controversial... Imagine trying to explain a force that can not been seen, felt and is suppose to hold sun and earth together (gravity). This is all guess work.

And this thing called the 'atom' is just plain silly. Do 'chemist' expect people to believe that every thing is made of something called the atom. And that by simply rearranging 'atoms' we get things with different characteristics. Different colors, melting temperature etc.

This is just too much to believe. I have never seen an atom nor have I seen gravity.

I suggest that we teach children magic, holy prayer and alchemy as an alternative to this dogma of science. It would teach children critical thinking and not limit their view of the world to dogma. Children should have an open mind.

Once you start opting out of one thing, you are on a very slippery slope.

What next, parents get to read the years lesson plans and keep their kids out of any class they don't like the sound of?

trust the teachers to do their job, and trust the children to make up their own minds when presented with unbiased facts.

As much as I believe in "choice" when it comes to educating our children, I have to say no. When you enroll your children in a public school you have to roll with whatever curriculum is provided. If you'd like your children to be taught another "theory" homeschool them, get a private teacher or send them to a private school that teaches what you believe.

Personally, I taught (teach) my children about evolution and creation. I explained both in great detail and told them why some people believed in one and some believed the other. I like to give my children as much info as possible about most subjects. Other parents can do the same if their children are being taught evolution (if that's something they don't believe in).

I said 'No', and my reasoning is unique.

Despite going to a private, Christian school, I am still exposed to the theory of evolution and I have been taught the basics in science class. As a Christian, I believe that if I don't learn about evolution, I can never prove evolutionists wrong. This is similar: If you never read the Bible or Koran (or however you want to spell it) you'll never have much substantial evidence that either of these books are right or wrong.

It's good to be an informed person and make judgements by yourself. You can't ever do that if you live without any conflicting views for your entire life.

I think gym class is the devil's handiwork.

Only if Christian schools let kids opt out of being taught Creationism!!!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

"Opting out of being tought about evolution" indeed that would be a very - dangerous - slippery slope. So absolutely no for me. I even think we are already are on a dangerous path by allowing schools to teach (brainwash) children that a certain religion is correct and another or no religion is not. Therefore I am vehemently opposed to all christian, islamic or whatever religion based types of schooling. I only think children should learn about the various beliefs that exist, and also that you can be perfectly happy without one and that not one kind of people is better than the other.

Evolution is a fact.

Parents have rights.

A very difficult choice. But in the last resort parents' rights should take priority.

I'd be interested to know if the same parents who want to opt out believe in using DNA evidence to put people on death row.
