"The only thing anyone on the pro-evolution side wants is this: politicians stick to politics and biology to the biologists. Stop telling biology teachers how to do their job."

So you would be ok with biology teachers deciding for themselves whether to include in the curriculum criticisms of evolution or intelligent design or creation?

Criticisms of intelligent design or creation in a biology class would be a waste of time...they shouldn't even be mentioned...they're religious beliefs, not science. As for criticisms of evolution, what do you think scientists have been trying to do for 150 years? They've tried to poke holes in it and it's been spectacularly resistant.

No. There should be a standard curriculum, which ought to reflect the consensus of biologists. Politicians should not be telling biologists what the evidence in their field says.
