Direct Interference with Teaching and Learning

Tactics used to disrupt or interrupt the teaching of evolution in the classroom include:

It is dangerous to set a precedent permitting “opting out” or alternative assignments. Bowing to this pressure may undermine the practical task of providing an education, since many topics and texts could become grounds for complaint.
