Science
The U.S. Supreme Court banned Bible reading in the public schools in the 1963 decision Abington School District v. Schempp, holding that it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Since then, the Court has consistently struck down all religious teaching in public schools as unconstitutional.
The English "science" comes from the Latin scientia, which simply means "knowledge." Using this broad definition explains why the medievals considered theology the “queen of the sciences” with philosophy as her “handmaiden.” The modern conception of science that booted theology and philosophy (and other subjects) from the category took place after the Enlightenment.
"Science" comes from the Latin scientia, which means “knowledge.” Today the word is most often used to refer to the hard sciences, such as physics and chemistry. Most students will not need a significant knowledge of these subjects. However, some students will like these subjects so much that they will want to make a career out of them. Regardless, a basic knowledge of science makes for a well-rounded individual.
Biblical creation is foundational to Christian education. The Bible starts with creation, and it should not surprise us that a person's belief about creation significantly impacts his or her worldview. It is therefore problematic that the Supreme Court has (mis)interpreted the First Amendment so as to bar teaching creation in the public schools. They have rigged the system in favor of naturalism, evidenced by the exclusive teaching of Darwinian evolution in biology courses.
