Here's a thought: have a class in Satanism taught in schools, with a
state examination. Of course it isn't promoting Satanism, that would
be establishment of religion - just learning about it. Of course it's
elective.

And then, teach science in schools on the same basis. If science is
against your religion then you are excused from studying in the class,
and most certainly excused from teaching it. Anyone who sets a
teacher to teach science that is against the teacher's religion should
be prosecuted. If you do want to learn science, then by damn you
learn it properly, without this creation junk.

That'd work, wouldn't it?

It would but the US even further behind the civilized world.

Well, do you think it's the good students you'd lose?
