What if I went into teaching, wouldn't I be a better more prepared biology teacher if I knew what the competing theories would be from some of my students and their parents ?
The author of this article doesn't tell us if the woman taught an opinion one way or the other about the theories. The assumption is made that just because she uses "critical thinking" in title the point of the course was to trash evolution. I for one find it difficult to believe that a critically thinking student of science would conclude creationism makes sense. I can't get there from here using critical thought and I happen to believe that God created the world.
If that had been what she had actually been doing, I don't believe they *would* have "thrown a fit". Thus I doubt it's what she *was* actually doing.

No, the assumption being made is that if she was given hell for what she was doing (and that much *is* clear from the article), there's probably a good reason.
