GEN: creation science

[John Gilmour Davies <jgdavies@DIRECT.CA>]

Sorry Peter, but I have to disagree with your logic, though I agree that we must
respect each other's point of view.

If we are to serve our students as you say, we must first start from a
conviction
that our job is not just a job.  That means I do what I do because of what I
believe and I don't sacrifice that at any cost.  While I am both a biochemist
in training, a teacher and then a teacher-librarian by profession, I am foremost
a Christian.  I don't leave this behind when I'm on the job any more than anyone
else does of other persuasions, though we might pretend to, but nor do I take
advantage of the power that is given me in my job in a position of public
trust.  Serving our students means that I _do_ carry _all_ points of view.

John
