His answer to the press had some strengths and weaknesses…

“That’s a question politicians shouldn’t be involved in one way or another. I am going to leave that up to you. I’m here to talk about trade, not to pontificate about evolution.”

Second 2/3 of that answer is spot on because it’s really an effort by left leaning press to cast candidates as Bible-thumping theocrats… to scare people. Unfortunately, though, because battles over classroom textbooks, and education policy in general, cannot avoid the topic, the first 1/3 is wishful thinking.

So… it really should come up, but at a trade conference? Tell them you’re not going there.
