Why is this important?

I'm here, really, because I like to learn and I like to argue. But as a couple of people have said, I'm ready to fight to keep science in, and religion out, of public-school science classrooms. Here I live in a country that likes to kid itself that it leads the world in one thing and another, and 51% of our population doesn't know that the Earth orbits the Sun in a year. So let's tell our kids that the Sun was formed four days after the Earth......
I don't want that.
