There's no actual constitutional-basis but not against. Neither is teaching men coming from monkeys which is something alot of lib-professers like to think they came from for whatever wierd reason.

Unfortunately, they don't.

So it would be better to go back to the days when almost nobody was educated at all?
I guess it's better to have only the rich and successful who can pay for school be able to achieve anything at all. We should just assign the people who can't pay for school to abject poverty for life.
No, it would be better to go back to the days when people actually were educated.

People with money, you mean?

No, people with brains.

Private schools across America, especially at the higher education level, will already attempt to match 100% of demonstrated financial aid need for accepted students. Not to mention the many merit scholarships available as well.

I was unaware that higher education was the only form of education.

The question asked by this thread was "Is teaching creationism in biology classes Constitutional?"

Not "Does the the Supreme Court think it is constitutional?"

The SCOTUS is the final authority in these matters.

Silly me, I had thought it was the Constitution. I had forgotten that the U.S. is governed by dictatorship now.

The SCOTUS interprets the Constitution, and its interpretation is the final say.

Well, yes, but the question isn't asking what the SCOTUS thinks. It would be a boring question if it did.

Would teaching of Lamarckism be constitutional?

Or would teaching this be constitutional (I know, some people will have fun here):

Probably, yes. It's just that if it ever gets into a school program, I would be highly suspicious of the overall educational quality in that school. So, I'd conjecture, would most university professors anywhere, as would many admissions committees Smiley

Fixed link.

Of course it would be constitutional, but it would clearly it would make more sense to teach about Lamarckism.

This is done.
