He argued repeatedly that evolution is a flawed theory and that he wasn't espousing any religious doctrine in questioning its teaching. And he won't come in your mouth, either. What you DO espouse is whatever your tribe witch-doctor tells you jesus said is the right thing. The board caused an uproar in 1999 when it voted 6-4 in favor of science standards that critics said stripped evolution from its accepted place at the center of biological studies. Sucks to be you.

Evolution, a theory developed by Charles Darwin and others, holds that the Earth is billions of years old and that all life, including humans, evolved from simple forms through a process of natural selection. Some religious fundamentalists and others object to the teaching of evolution, saying it contradicts the biblical account of creation. Some proponents of divine creation have organized a concept, called creationism, that they proposed be taught along with evolution. In 1987, the Supreme Court barred states from requiring the teaching of creationism. Because it is wrong.
