We will read in Genesis and them [sic] some supplemental material debunking various aspects of evolution from which the students will present, said Shawna Creamer, a science teacher at Airline High School in an email to Principal Jason Rowland.
A teacher at Caddo Parish schools wrote a newspaper column saying that her job is to present both evolution and creationism.
God made science, wrote fifth-grade teacher Charlotte Hinson.
While one parent complained to the principal that another teacher Cindy Tolliver, was pushing her twisted religious beliefs onto the class, another praised biology teacher Michael Stacy because he discussed evolution and creationism in a full spectrum of thought.

Getting grade school kids to consider both evolution and myth and then having to choose one "theory" using both faith and reason...it is child abuse.
