That's just one theory, like the *theory* of evolution. The flat earth
theory is of even longer standing, and should also be taught in school.



Inaccurate, at least in recorded History. The shadow cast on the moon,
especially during eclipses, gives ample evidence that the earth is a
_sphere_ . Greeks even measured its diameter.

They're having a Pow-Wow - advertised as a dance and prayer to the Great
Spirit - on public land in the city this weekend. Schools take kids on
field trips to see the dance. Somewhere in the background is a clean spot
on the wall where they took down the copy of the Ten Commandments....
