I can't believe that people are fighting over what information should and should not be given to our children. In my view, to educate means to present all materials and information to the student so that the revelation of truth will manifest. Seems evolutionists however are afraid of letting their theories stand against opposing views. Why? If the theory of evolution is in fact the truth and supported by evidence you'd think the evolutionists would WANT their viewpoints compared to the opposition. Imagine how good they'd look if their theory were right.

Should we teach 2+2=5 alongside 2+2=4 just so 2+2=4 looks good when we prove it's right?

Oh, welcome to FR.

Of course! It makes perfect sense to teach abstract algebra to first graders before they learn their sums. </sarcasm>

More like:

2 + a - b + c - d + e + f - g + h + i + j - k + l + m - n + o + p - q + r + s - t + u + v - w + x + y - z = 4

Never ASSUME.
