However, I would like to see other theories that man has evolved dealing with issues of origins taught right along side of it (e.g., ID, Punk-Eek, even Genesis as a "baseline theory" if you will).

The Flute Playing Locust, the Scietologists, the Moslem version of Gilgamesh (as opposed to the Creationist version of Gilgamesh), the Yoruba version, the story of Quetzalcoatl (with particular attention to Tlaloc), etc. Okay for a history course but only wasting time for science.

I guess they got to me, I can't even spell Scientologist. (Or Dianetics for that matter.)

We're talking "little kids" here, Doc. Plus I thought the main mission of public education is to transmit the culture to the rising generation. (Silly me, what a "conservative idea." Of course, the Prussian Wilhelm Von Holbach transformed the mission of the public schools into "factories" preparing children to earn a living and become a "productive" member of society.... IMHO, this was a disastrous innovation which has resulted in massive cultural ignorance even among the "credentialled.") The theory of evolution is part of that culture; but it's not the only part.
