Now i didn't call bullshit, but I don't think that true is it?
Anyway her impartial prompts kept coming back to be asking the one religous kid in the class "doesn't it violate separation of Church/ state to teach creationism?"
So i finally ask her "What was the purpose of the separation, and in partiucular in schools?" She says we don't want to force a religion on people and if we teach Jesus to a class that is 90% Christian it's not fair to the other 10%." So then i had her-
"But how is that different than teaching evolution to a class that includes this young man who doesn't want to hear it?"
Ole' Stalin had no answer.

Your kid is being taught by at least one truly stupid person.
It doesn't violate church/state separation to teach creationism in a biology class - it violates science/nonscience separation in a biology class. Creationism doesn't provide testable hypotheses, and thus is unscientific. If you must, cram creationism down kids' throats in Sunday School class, where it belongs.
