And this is a school run by evil Pearson who controls all the textbooks, so that’s a bit of a comfort even as America’s educational standards slip down the tubes.

      I feel like the tone of “There is NO option to opt out of this unit, it is required for all students to complete” along with “As as science class we will only focus on the scientific theory and evidence.” is suggesting that their religious beliefs are irrelevant when it comes to science, which is far from an apology.

      Acknowledging that they have those beliefs and this might upset them is not apologizing to them, especially when the overall message is “too bad.”

        Well others have told you why it’s an apology, you can disagree

          I don’t think they really have. They’ve just insisted it is.

            “They haven’t told me, they’ve insisted” … what

            Not sure how you can insist on something without it being communicated but ya sure

              Because they haven’t given any evidence for the claim?

                So first off that’s a completely different argument than the one you just made

                Secondly they did, you just can’t read apparently

                But whatevs man do you if you’ve got nothing better to do than sit there, trying and failing to be pedantic and just acting confused for no reason then enjoy it I guess

                  If I can’t read, it’s very silly of you to respond to me. But perhaps you could point out where.
