John,

Just out of curiosity, why do you feel like this is an inappropriate topic?
For myself, it is a very relevant discussion.  Evolution is the foundation
of modern day biology and thus if it not taught properly in schools, there
is a problem with science education in our schools. Science education is an
appropriate topic of discussion.

Are you opposed to teaching of evolution? Or do you think it's ok to put a
warning label on books? If so, why? I'm not trying to be confrontational,
but just get a sense of what the thinking is behind your previous post.

-Rita
