Are you suggesting that "pure curiousity" is the antithesis of indoctrination?
No. I am suggesting that teaching children what we think they need to know to take an adult's place in the world is not primarily an exercise in intellectual equality between peers--it is adults making and enforcing unilateral decisions upon somewhat resistant unformed minds. If you don't think teaching them about the present state of science should be part of that curriculum, I can go along with that. If you do, I can go along with that.
What I cannot abide, is teaching them something is science (or somehow mysteriously "stands on par" with science), when it isn't. ID is not science--it fails nearly every qualification exam anyone has ever thought of. I personally happen to think it is the best fit of the currently available facts, and I can and have gone over why that is at length, but I am not deluded into thinking that this notion has the detailed, critically diciplined evidenciary trail behind it that it now takes to qualify as a modern science.
