Re: Censorship question, I need wisdom.

First I would like to let you know that I believe in creationism just so

that you know my bias. However I don't let that affect my purchasing of
information.  I have information on Wicca and Vodoo even though I
believe they are evil. You said that you already had the Hindu version
of creation and the Native American version. Are they based on
scientific fact? Every day new information supports creationism. You
need to read some of the works from the Creation Institute (which, by
the way, has many scientists with PHDs working for it) before you say
that there is no scientific support for the creationists point of view.
I won't argue the point but I believe you have an obligation to present
all views and let the student determine which he chooses to support and
defend in the classroom.  That's what freedom of thought and expression
are about.
This can be carried in many directions - abortion and anti-abortion -
death penalty vs no death penalty - homosexuality issues, etc.
I would be glad to give you a list of books from the Creation Institute
if you are interested.
