Funny you claim evolution isn't a fact. But then, I can claim that some people just never evolved. So, I guess, we have a common ground. As for faith... I didn't know you had something against it.
Yikes, evolution is a theory!!!! Accepted, but still a theory. I should get paid for educating you!

I would pity anybody who would pay for you educating anybody. The idea serves well as free amusement, though and should be kept as such. But, speaking of theories... do you know what a theory entails?

Waiting while you look up a dictionary... expecting a link anytime now...

Or not.

Is this where we're headed in the United States?
I am gay and as much as I deplore this kind of teaching, I deplore government interference in the matter even more. It's one thing to create a law for public schools, but quite another for religious and home schools. However, I believe religious schools in Canada get government funding, so it may be a case of "He who pays the piper calls the tune". Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You forgot the very premise of your claims...

Pledge of Allegiance is US Constitution - Check

You're Welcome!

It doesn't refute that premise at all. Sexual orientation is a matter of degree. Just as some people are right handed, some left handed, and some ambidextrous...some people are gay, some are straight, and some bisexual.

Yikes, I guess reading comprehension is another issue for you.

Please cut and paste where I wrote that.

It appears that you are correct. 7 provinces support Catholic schools. Although, I still dont agree. It changes the argument.

Now go read the constitution.

I'm helping because I'm nice.

"On November 12, 2010, in a unanimous decision,[33] the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston affirmed a ruling by a New Hampshire lower federal court which found that the pledge's reference to God doesn't violate students' rights.[34] A United States Supreme Court appeal of this decision was denied on June 13, 2011.[35][36]"

Pledge of Allegiance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now run along.
You're Welcome, again!!

But, before I run out of space for exclamation points... if you care for Wikipedia for source... THIS not that would be the page for "US Constitution".

You're Welcome!!!

Isn't that a violation of their First Amendment rights?

Oh, it's Canada?

Never mind.
