Don't mistake what they say they want for what they really want. They say
they want more freedom in the classroom, up to and including the freedom
to
slip in a little bit of ID once in a while. But what they really want is
what they had in the first place and lost: the political power to outlaw
Darwin from the classroom and mandate that creationism ONLY can be taught.
They've lost a lot of ground since the Scopes Monkey Trial, and they're
just
trying to take us all one baby step back in the direction they want things
going in.

We must be staunch in our conviction that freedom is not the sole
prerogative of a lucky few, but the inalienable and universal right of all
human beings... It would be cultural condescension, or worse, to say that
any people prefer dictator****p to democracy.
Ronald Reagan at Westminster Abbey, 1982
