Evolution SHOULD be taught to preschoolers
I take the whole thing very personally. The whole EvC issue was a lot of fun until it became my life. I could very easily in the next few weeks lose my job because I dare teach that the Earth is over 6000 years old.
I am a college professor who teaches at a Christian college. The official stance of the college is scientists teach current science. I am currently teaching a course in Historical Geology. However, I have a student who has petitioned her way up the ladder with the argument that I do not give YEC versions of geology. This was all a bit of a laugh with us. “Silly student”.. and all. Everyone told me not to worry.
Then our department head asked me to submit all of my lectures, college transcripts (??!!) and curriculum vitae (cv) to him. She (the student) went from me teaching evolution (which is accepted by our school) to my credentials for teaching geology at all. She mailed a letter to the accreditation board (we are this year under our 10 year accreditation review) saying that we have a biologist teaching geology.
The end story of all of this . . My ”nice’ level for creationists has dropped to zero. My patience level for any ignorant retards trying to pass off Bronze age mythology as science is zero. Their ideology might well cost me my job.

Doctor Bashir: "Of all the stories you told me, which were true and which weren't?"
Elim Garak: "My dear Doctor, they're all true"
Doctor Bashir: "Even the lies?"
Elim Garak: "Especially the lies"
