Ongoing efforts of legislatures and school boards across the country to mix religion and science forms focus of this essay. The current ascendance of religious conservatives insisting on an alternative to evolution being taught in schools in the form of intelligent design has resulted in draft legislation being introduced in ten US states. Author contends that there are First Amendment interests on both sides of the evolution-creationism debate and that a classroom, although essentially a place of learning, cannot be a venue for religious proselytizing. Essay concludes that even though evolution is on the school curriculum, it is often discouraged in the classroom out of fear of controversy, particularly in communities where fundamentalist religion predominates.
