No, not in the high school I went to in Ontario.  Can't speak for those nutsos out in Aberta. ;D

Hey, nutsos like myself in Alberta could take offense to that... :P
Don't think they teach that in HS out here either ...  :)

NO, no intelligent design ever talked about in France. But then we still have separation between the State and the Church, and I hope it stays this way.
Even in the private (understand "catholic" here) schools, they have to follow national curriculum, so no ID.
I thought this ID thing had been beaten in Congress anyway in the USA, and that it was out of the question to teach it in schools??

Ditto -- as a fellow Albertan, Calgarian nutso, I also take offense at that appelation, Chanterais.

Just kidding !!   We Albertans certainly have a reputation don't we?
The frightening thing is that the subterranean, ultra-conservative under-current
in this province is now controlling the country at the Federal level.
Did you know that Focus on the Family opened a branch in Ottawa mere weeks
after the fall Conservative victory?  Hmmm, me thinks something is up with
THAT think tank moving down the street from the Parliament buildings.
So, Chanterais, we can all watch from the sidelines as the Fed Conservatives try to roll back
any number of the Liberal initatives concerning same-sex rights, abortions, etc...
It's no longer an exclusive Albertan activity.

Sheriff Roland:
Ontario dumping it's two cents worth here.

It seems to me, that outside of the fundamentalist states in parts of the USA, this is a non issue, regarded with little respect, and mostly unheard of in pretty much the entire world. I can't imagine that it will develop into anything more than what it is right now, specially since, by all indications, the right is quickly losing it's grip on it's influence on americans, and may not be considered seriously by those citizens for what may turn out to be quite a few decades! - Hey, I can dream, can't I? Hunh?!?!!

sparkle_motion:
Hey, guys, thanks for weighing in. I'm sorry there was confusion over the meaning!
