The problem with doing so is that there are a whole bunch of these laughable little rednecks, with their quaint little "religion," and it seems like a lot of them appear to feel kind of stongly about some of these issues. As is probably obvious to most, I do not personally believe in creationism. But, I have lived long enough to learn that, sometimes, even things I believe really really strongly to be true are, in fact, not true. I guess I am suggesting that, absent omniscience, maybe we can make a little room in our world for alternative viewpoints.

The proper place for seeking out alternative viewpoints like creationism is church. The proper place to seek out what the academic and scientific community have accepted as the best possible theory is college. Creating a cause of action allowing students to sue their professors because they want to bring their church to school is fucking stupid, redneck or not.
