Whether or not the Earth is round is a matter of belief, and we have to respect the beliefs of all students. Therefore, classes during which the roundness of the Earth might be discussed will be optional for students. Parents must be given advance notice of such classes, with the right to opt out their children. Accommodation will be given to students whose parents don't wish for them to participate in classes in which Earth's roundness is discussed.

Whether or not the Earth revolves around the Sun, or vice versa, is a matter of belief, and the beliefs of all students must be accommodated. Therefore, it is now mandatory for the high school to provide equal time for those who believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Both theories will be taught in science classes, so as to accommodate the beliefs of all families.

Creationism will be taught as fact because it's just too exhausting to have to defend the teaching of that new theory about evolution in this community. After all, Boca Raton is a small community with a very homogenous population. We like to do things the way they've always been done around here.

Teaching algebra is right out. Did you know that Arabs made it up?
