You must live in an isolated area and not have access to much outside information.  Oh!  Oops!  You have the internet, so that can't be it.

Hmmm...

Well, perhaps you've been so distracted by your own research into other areas that you've never encountered these controversies before.  It's either that, or you simply haven't been paying attention, or you don't want to pay attention, or you want an argument, or you're lying that you don't already know about these controversies, because damned near everyone else in this country knows how religious people are trying to inject their beliefs into the teaching of evolution and sex education.  I had thought that their dishonest claims to be employing science in their promotion of creation theory -- oops!  Sorry.  I mean "intelligent design" -- and abstinance-only education were well-known.

Just to name two things, of course, as there are many other ways that religious people try to inject their beliefs into the public school system.

Apparently, however, you are completely ignorant about what's happening in our public schools.  I hope that I've been able to shed some light on what must seem to you to be very well-kept secrets.
