In Darwin We Trust

by Tony Peyser

There are God-fearing folks
Seeking a revolution
To stop public schools
From teaching evolution.

There are even school boards
Now becoming liable
To insist on having
Classes about the Bible.

Posting The Ten Commandments
You're probably aware
Is another goal as well
As allowing prayer.

Instead of letting this lead
In directions litigious
Why don't they send their kids
To schools that are religious?

To avoid curriculum
That needs their overruling
They also should consider
The idea of home-schooling.

If they feel our schools today
Are liberally overreaching
What makes them think we'll like
Ideas they have for teaching?
