Your claim, however, was that the Supreme Court never ruled in such a manner. Your welcome for informing you as to the fact that they did.
You certainly are entitled to disagree with the ruling.

This was clearly a case of some Constitutional confusion (although not very much in my mind). It was clearly decided correctly.

You do realize that there are 9 justices on the Supreme Court?

That's not what the ruling said. Plus your whole notion of teaching it as fact vs. not fact is just absurd.
Evolution is science. It's a theory that explains a large quantity of scientific evidence. It's a theory, just like all science is theory. As new evidence is discovered, it either further supports the theory or the theory has to be changed. For instance, the theory once believed that Neandertals were part of the evolutionary chain that resulted in modern man. But the evidence did not support that, it supports the idea that Neandertals were a separate branch, that we are not descended from Neandertals at all. The theory was revised to reflect the evidence available. Creationism is not a theory. It is a matter of faith. And as a matter of faith, it cannot be subject to be disproved. Evolutionary theory can be disproven. But to do so requires a startling new discovery, that can be observed, tested, and explained by a different theory. The fact that Creationism does not depend on evidence, and could not be refuted by new scientific evidence means that it's not science.
It's about as scientific as the man caused earth warming theory. Even Darwin himself was not confident in his theory, and it is still only theory. Secular humanists insist that the unprovable theory is proven fact. Simply not so.

Yes I know about there being 9 judges. I misspoke.
BTW, taught as science not fact.

Just as it is permissible to discuss the crucial role of religion in medieval European history, creationism may be discussed in a civics, current affairs, philosophy, or comparative religions class where the intent is to factually educate students about the diverse range of human political and religious beliefs. The line is crossed only when creationism is taught as science, just as it would be if a teacher were to proselytize a particular religious belief.
really, really, really BAD science...but a lot of "scientists" make their living at it.
If evolution is "really, really, really BAD science", how is it that attenuated vaccines work? In other words, please explain attenuated vaccines to me without using the principles of evolution.
