Students are studying the process of "evolution". We are not discussing it in a manner that would be considered anti-religion,... simply viewing the "evolving" portion that takes places in so many aspects of life and in the creation of things.
We are making comparisons to how cars evolve over time to meet the need of humans, as well as how humans have evolved in order to survive the environment in which they live by analyzing adaptations, competition, variations and overproduction.
I hope that all parents view this as an opportunity to talk and listen to their child, learning what they think. Students have heard me say that it is very important that they talk, think, observe and question the world around them so that they are able to justify and validate their opinions, rather than furthering the opinions of someone else,.. this teacher included. :)
