  So wait ... we will be preventing students from hearing about religious dogma by ... imposing our own dogma ? Wtf ? The Soviet union, incidentally, did exactly that. Here's one of the initially funny consequences of forcing scientific views on everyone, currently referred to as Lysenkoism [1]. It's only funny until you realize just how many people this affected and what was done to enforce this. Short list of people executed as direct result of attempts to enforce scientific socialist/soviet dogma: Isaak Agol Solomon Levit Grigorii Levitskii Georgii Karpechenko Georgii Nadson Is scientific dogma really any better than religious dogma ? I would argue that the vast majority of Christian schools teach both creationism and evolution. What is wrong with that ? Incidentally, like the things it's describing, there's quite a bit of evolution in evolution itself. So much, that what most people were taught as evolution is no longer considered true. I also love the naivite in this position. As if this pushing of evolution is being done to advance scientific knowledge. It is being done for the same reason that the French revolutionaries did it (another example of people who pushed scientific dogma, another example of that practice ending in mountains of corpses). They did it for a simple reason : to make people follow the state like they follow the church. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism
