Would there have to be a reincarnaton class too?

There's too much paperwork involved.



Tell the student to discuss it with their parents. No harm in that.
I don't see any reason for that, just point out that it is a religious alternative to evolution and that this is a science class if they want to learn more about creationism ask it in religious studies and get back to work, I don't see any problem in a rudimentary break down of creationism in a science class.

I also agree that schools should offer a non-denominational religions class where people simply learn about the different religions and what defines them hell even I would have taken that one.

On the whole this law suit just looks like another attempt to force religion on people through public schools personally I think religious belief is a personal thing and as such should be taught by the church.



PS. Ever noticed that you never get Atheists knocking on your door to see if you want to lose God?
