"Teaching children to think critically NEVER threatens literacy. "

So would you support teaching the holocaust denial perspective in history classes or how about homosexuality in health classes? Giving them a fair hearing and teaching them side by side with conventional theories would only promote our children's ability to think critically, right?

So you are equating Creationism, Homosexuality, Holoccaust Denial, Flat Earthism, Astrology, etc.?


OK, I can see that point of view.

No, neither of the issues you raise are scientific. Competing theories in science require examination, and good science will win out. It is part of teaching critical thinking, which was, is, and will always be part of any science curriculum.
