This post has just helped me figure out why I get so angry when a certain co-worker starts talking to me about Creationism and what should be taught in schools. I thought I was being defensive because our points of view differ (as I voted NOT to continue religious teachings in my local school district) and tried to focus on her other qualities. That's not it, though. It's that she feels that only her version of How We All Got Here should be taught, and independant thought (such as this) should be discouraged. That scares me from any source.
