PBS Wanting Religion Taught?

PBS is obviously not just some morally neutral organization. I don't ever hear of them having Dr. White on their programs explaining topics such as the transmission of the bible when they are all too willing to allow apostates such as Bart Ehrman spew their false conclusions about the the bible. Now we are seeing their desire to "equip" teachers with arguments against Intelligent Design as being reported by CrossWalk News (here) as being unconstitutional and violating the First amendment. Why is this unconstitutional? Because they are attempting to promote religious viewpoints.

At first glance I had to wonder why religious people desiring prayer in school and creation science would argue against PBS on grounds that teaching evolution from a religious standpoint violates the First Amendment. If Christians want to use creation science, would not the PBSers be allowed to do the same in reverse? The article states,

"The Supreme Court ruled in Epperson v. Arkansas that the government must maintain 'neutrality between religion and religion,'" said Randal Wenger, a Pennsylvania attorney who filed amicus briefs in the Kitzmiller v. Dover School District case.

"Because the briefing packet only promotes religious viewpoints that are friendly towards evolution, this is not neutral, and PBS is encouraging teachers to violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause," Wenger added.

So here I am still asking myself, "So what?"

However the article articulates that the ID "theory is not an argument based on what we don't know, but rather an argument about what we do know..." I take this to mean they (Intelligent Designers) do not argue for religious conclusions? So IDers would never point out there must be an Intelligent Designer?

I guess my thinking is that both sides are going to run into this problem. It is interesting that PBS would take the idea of mixing religion with Evolution when they have attempted for so many years to separate science and religion and their mockery of Christianity every chance they get.

"'The NOVA/PBS teaching guide encourages the injection of religion into classroom teaching about evolution in a way that likely would violate current Supreme Court precedents about the First Amendment's Establishment Clause,' said John West, vice president for public policy and legal affairs at the Discovery Institute, in a news release."

I say go for it PBS. When they do, I hope Christians take every advantage of the situation. Of course, I am probably being superficial in my understanding of this case. I hardly think PBS really wants to get into the religion wars in such an obvious way. Certainly they know they would lose if there truly was Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and academic freedom.
