The Foundations of the Debate

I took an African-American History class last year, and most of it consisted of discussing various issues in class. Early on in the year, the teacher brought up de facto segregation and poorer, inner city students not being able to get into as good colleges as suburban students. As an aside, he mentioned that the same thing was happening with homeschooled kids who don't learn evolution. They obviously could get into SOME colleges, but (and I'm not very knowledgable on this) I'm sure most universities require certain credits of biology that a homeschooled creationist would lack. This could be a factor (if a small one) fueling the debate between creation and evolution and teaching them in schools. By not getting into good colleges, creationist Christians can't get good jobs, and they are being discriminated against as much as inner city minorities.

I was going to write "the homeschooled children didn't choose to not learn evolution" but you're pretty much right. I happen to agree with you. I was just trying to look at and argue the problem from a different point of view. It kind of helps, though, if the point of view has some basis in reality.
