		<description><![CDATA[If it weren&#8217;t a serious concern for all Americans, Christian denialism of basic science would be laughable.  The latest attack on reality comes from Redwood Heights Elementary School, in Oakland, California.  It seems the science teachers there have had the unmitigated audacity to teach 4th graders that the animal kingdom is full of gender diversity.
