Why would a bill that "would require schools to notify parents in advance of `subject-matter that deals explicitly with religion, sexuality or sexual orientation'" permit parents to pull their kids from a lesson on evolution? Evolution is science, not religion. Should parents be allowed to pull their kids from a lesson on gravity? Or stoichiometry? Or conics?
Evolution is science. It is not religion.

Discussions of global warming are science discussions. There may be disagreement on it, but it is still science.

Hmmm, it's usually Conservatives that are religious fundamentalists, not Liberals.

I have to agree with this post. Come on conservatives, lets not take a step backwards.

No, both sides put out arguments based on our knowledge of the natural world. Nobody has said that "God caused it" or "green leaf fairies age doing it to get back at us for not eating enough coco puffs." Liberal political crapola is more like it.
Well, almost:
However, Can you find something to show that scientists working on global warming are using supernatural arguments?

You are correct, not everybody is educated.

did you guys read the whole thing?
because I'm sure you like this part .
$1:
The new rules, which would require schools to notify parents in advance of "subject-matter that deals explicitly with religion, sexuality or sexual orientation," is buried in a bill that extends human rights to homosexuals. Parents can ask for their child to be excluded from the discussion.

Well, one often needs to repeat things, especially for someone with low intellect!
