DISCUSSION THREAD - Kansas Public Schools to Adopt "Intelligent Design" Curriculum
The Kansas Board of Education approved new public education standards today to require public schools to teach Intelligent Design along side evolution. Intelligent Design teaches that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power. Critics of the new curriculum charge that it is an attempt to inject God and creationism into public schools and is a violation of the separation of church and state.
DISCUSSION THREAD:
Do you believe that public schools should be able to teach Intelligent Design or Creationism along side evolution? And if so, how do you rebut opponents who charge that it is a violation of the separation of church and state?

Public schools are just that, public; meaning they receive government funds to operate. Separation of the church and state is guaranteed in our Constitution and I believe that this is definatley a conflict.
Parents who want their children exposed to Intelligent Design or Creationism should take their children to church or Sunday school.
