Why not teach them what the Nation of Islam thinks -- that the caucasian race is the product of a scientific experiment by Africans that went awry?

That is silly. Do you really consider that critical analysis of evolution?

Not at all. I think such claptrap is as verifiable as the "science" that shows that the Earth is approx 6,000 years old & that all humans are directly descended from Adam & Eve.

Those examples are but two that the State of Ohio is using to "critically analyze" evolution.

Anyway, what's the harm in presenting the Nation of Islam's theories?

After all, you're the one who stated,"If the evidence is so weak all that will happen is students will be exposed to weak opposing evidence that will help and support their understanding of the subject. What is so wrong with presenting this data."

I ask again -- what's wrong presenting data about the Nation of Islam's theories, new age cults' theories, info about reincarnation, etc?
