Any update on this? I’m really curious if the Two Cows joke is actually involved here or if that speculation was misplaced.

I have not been to the school yet as I’ve been working a lot. Hopefully, I can get up there in the next couple of days.

I just found out that they are teaching Young Earth Creationism to my niece and nephew at the local parochial school down the way. Won’t be pitting anyone or starting my own thread until I ask my sister some polite yet pointed questions…
