Strategy 7: Delay evolution instruction until 12th grade

The best evolution is no evolution, of course, but if your school board is biased against basic educational values, you might have to compromise on whether the theory is taught at some point. However, you can suggest that it not be taught while students are impressionable and not yet able to distinguish between the merits of evolution versus intelligent design theories (for example). This policy has worked for a growing number of school districts.

The beauty of this strategy is that students go through almost 18 years of life without exposure to evolution. During this time, our children will hopefully receive early instruction (at church, Bible study groups, and at home) about how God created life. And then, at the time when evolution is being taught in school, they are almost completely distracted by other impure thoughts characteristic of teenagers. It is very unlikely that anyone is listening to their science teachers in 12th grade, and very unlikely that anyone would remember the content if they were.
