I see, so schools should not be places of legitimate inquiry on important subjects? Only some theories should be mentioned?



Your statement. Did you not mean to imply that intelligent design belongs in the classroom? If you did not I will apologize but since this debate involves only 2 choices, ID does or does not belong in the classroom, I don't think I misread your intent.

Certainly in a real school, that is to say, one that actually seeks to teach, all legitimate areas of inquiry would be addressed.

Please do not be confused that I advocate teaching that ID is a fact, or teaching it in any particular class is the only way to address the important subject. Only that to deny it actually is a legitimate question by ignoring it while teaching that other theories are fact, is inconsistent with an acceptable school.

Government schools are not designed to further legitimate inquiry, it is unfortunately no longer the mission.

If you thought I meant anything else, you surely misread my intent. I have a practice of saying precisely what I mean.
