Brandon Keim, Wired: Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes.In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska said of evolution and creation education, "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."Asked by the Anchorage Daily News whether she believed in evolution, Palin declined to answer, but said that "I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class.""I'm not going to pretend I know how all this came to be," she said.

So?
Education is local.
Get over it.
I have gone to both religious and public schools in my life. Guess what? At my religious school, micro-evolution was taught alongside intelligent design. At my public school, only macro-evolution was taught.
I don't consider myself any dumber for hearing multiple theories.
And again, whatever you or I think about it, education is a local and parental matter, not a federal matter. So what Sarah wanted in local schools is irrelevant to a federal race.
Irony is creationism taught
Irony is creationism taught in a science class!
Well yeah,
Religion is the Science of Brain Washing, nothing ironic about it.
thats about the public
thats about the public school system probably ... and it any school there should be courses offered in both .. not just one or the other ...
