It doesn't matter what the church or science tries to push on my kid. Unfortunetly they have me as their mentor who is having fun pushing his own warped opinion about this world on them

I teach my kids to question everything and think for themselves.

Honestly for me, where I live the Church is not trying to get into our schools. My state is very progressive in that sense, I never heard of anything pushing Creationism in my state, or in all of New England for that matter.

If my children hears about Creationism, it is only because I chose to send them to church. This is why I work hard at countering that with teaching them to be free thinkers. I am the last person to teach them my faith is not fallible.
