George:

I think our founding fathers were very wise in writing separation of church and state into our Constitution. We should keep it that way!

George,

Ms. Reinicke advocates the teaching of creationism in the public schools but I believe it belongs in the Bible Study class in a worship center. The concept is certainly religious, not historical, and not scientific. If a comparative religion class is offered, a forum for creationism could legitimately exist. I see no other appropriate place in the public school for teaching an essentially religious belief.

George,

I would like to have Ms.Ann Reinicke explain creationism to me. I think I have an open mind about most things, after all, I once believed in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I did have some trouble with the tooth fairy, however, after I put a tooth under my pillow (unbeknownst to my parents) and got nothing.
