Although upstate NY is more conservative than NYC (although they did vote
for Gore and Clinton this past year), you would never see much support for
banning the teaching of evolution in those school districts.

Ah, a stereotype. New York City is not the whole state anymore than all
of Georgia is Atlanta. While I was born and bred in THE CITY, I spent my
winters and summers upstate in a town whose population was less than the
capacity of a Fifth Avenue bus. Now, talk about a slow pace..... There
is more similarity among the rural environs of NY, Ark, and Ga then most
people dare to think. Found that to be substantiated by my erstwhile
research into the rural American Jewish experience.
Make it a good day.
