Mandating only one view be can be taught does not enhance the educational process. By mandating that only one view be taught one is teaching students that one must presume that one knows the cause of circumstantial evidence before examining it. By mandating that that only on view be taught it is teaching students that it is unimportant to contrast the rules of evidence, examine the weight or preponderance of evidence, and determine the relevancy of evidence on grounds of prejudice (pre–judging) or ones presuppositions. Intellectual curiosity is a prime motivation for learning. The best scholars and scientists have a desire/curiosity to explore a subject in detail--learn all there is to know about a subject or a particular area. By mandating that only one view be taught, it is teaching someone not explore a subject, question, or problem in detail or thoroughly. By mandating that only one view be taught it is teaching students it is not important to examine whether a statement is true or the probability of being true, not to develop tests for validity, and to regurgitate statements as true without thinking about them. Mandating that only one view can be taught is teaching students it is not important to be able to analyze and identify the assumptions behind a statement or problem and determine the validity of those assumptions. Perhaps an overabundance of regurgitation of statements about problems or questions while discouraging critical thinking skills about those statements will tend to educate better scientists, doctors, lawyers, detectives and engineers. Mandating that only one view is taught is clearly detrimental to the educational process.
