Most the private evangelical protestant christian schools in the USA do.

For example, the Bush administration has favored getting ideologically minded young men & women from this college:

Patrick Henry College

see their website: phc.edu

There mission:

The Mission of Patrick Henry College is to prepare Christian men and women who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values and fidelity to the spirit of the American founding. Educating students according to a classical liberal arts curriculum, and training them with apprenticeship methodology, the College provides academically excellent baccalaureate level higher education with a biblical world view.

I think LindyBill once posted an article showing that 8 or so of their grads worked in various levels on the Hill in the Bush administration. The School is heavily aimed at government studies, to prep their grads for government jobs.

Now, what does one find in their science department?

God's Creative Works. God created the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them for His own good pleasure. He has absolute sovereign authority and control over all His creation, and sustains it by His gracious providence. Humans and each kind of organism resulted from God's distinct and supernatural creative intervention and did not result from a natural evolutionary process, nor from an evolutionary process that God secretly directed. In particular, God created man in a distinct and supernatural creative act, forming the specific man Adam from non-living material, and the specific woman Eve from Adam. The first man and woman were therefore the progenitors of all people, and humans do not share a common physical ancestry with earlier life forms. [Genesis 1:1-2:4; I Chronicles 29:11; Psalm 23; Psalm 104; Colossians 1:16-17]

From here:

phc.edu

Now ask yourself if you think any graduate from this institution is what America needs? Want to hazard a guess as to which side of the global warming debate these grads will be well attached too? Why?
