Do the kids have the necessary background and training to properly question the theory?

Most of the kids don't have the necessary background to read about the theory!

My point was that they should be taught to question theories in general. This one, in particular.

I would agree, in general. What specifically would you have them question about evolution?

My point was that they should be taught to question theories in general.

But since they can only truly question a theory from a position of knowledge, the point is moot.

This one, in particular.

Simply because it might gore a sacred cow or two does not mean it should be singled out for special treatment. If that were the case, I think quantum theory should be banished from school curriculums as it gives me pounding headaches.
