This is why Westboro Baptist Church is a joke

This is why I'm against teaching creationism in schools, because it is essentially saying that it's ok to teach things that have been proven a fallacy in the classroom to young, impressionable minds.

I'm not against the idea of religious education in schools, as long as it is taught in a sociological sense. Religion has a huge impact on the way society functions, and it would be foolish to ignore that in schools. Religion and religious beliefs can be taught in a useful way in schools, as long as the focus is on "This is what some people believe, and this is what other people believe" as opposed to "This is what you should believe period end of sentence".

Of course, none of this belongs in a science class.
