"Should a view be taught/should a view be allowed to be taught?" is not the right question. Maybe this is a valid question for a classroom in the former Soviet Union, but not for America. There should be freedom of intellectual inquiry.

Well said, FreedomProtector!

What a dismal story you relate. :^(

And yet probably pretty representative of the state of biological science teaching in the public schools today, where indoctrination rules. And not just in science classes.

Thanks for an excellent essay/post!

So I take it you disapprove of rigorous academic standards?

FreedomProtector's statement cuts right to the heart of the matter. Thank you for your essay-post, FP! And thank you for the ping, my dear sister in Christ!
