Suppose the unthinkable happens and creationism/ID is mandated as required curriculum as a seperate subject in public schools. How exactly would the textbook go? What could possibly be taught? "God created the heavens and the earth, any questions? OK, pop quiz tomorrow".

If I was tasked to create a core curriculum for such a thing, I'd be stumpted.

The bible would probably be all the textbook it would need.
Good thing creationism is a non-issue here in Australia; there's no chance it'll ever be taught.

It'd be an easy A.

Question 1: Describe the process behind mitochondrial replication.

Question 2: How does the human immune system protect the body against viruses?

Question 3: How are you ever going to get a job that pays more than minimum wage when you're this ignorant and uneducated?

God will help me.


See? It's easy. Much easier than that whole 'students should use their brains' crowd wants school to be.

We can laugh all we want but here in Ohio more than one science teacher is more than a little concerned. To say the least I'm really depressed and angry about this whole thing. I can just imagine the kind of pressure and confrontations public school teachers are going to face.
