Religion has no business being taught in schools. The teaching of any 
form of creation (christian, buddist etc) would no doubt violate some 
other sect's inalienable rights in some insignificant fashion and the 
resulting lawsuits could only raise local property taxes. Lets keep 
religion in churches and science in schools.

>The name is "Falwell, not "Foulwell" etc.

So sorry, Mr. Reverent Falwell is one of this country's most dispicable
neo-nazi's. After seeing him on several talk shows it's obvious the man 
is evil, he knows when he is tell a lie and smirks when he does so. 

To advocate that people who abuse organised religion on the scale that 
he does should have "more" of a say in what *my* children are taught is 
a postion that *I* have little sympathy for.

I disagree with Rev. Falwell ideology almost on every social issue.  I
don't like his self righteousness.  Yet, calling him a Nazi is going too
far.  I think that by labeling people indiscriminately as Nazis, we dilute
this term.  This term should be reserved to those who really qualify for it.
