should hold be withheld from any discussionNo, I'm in favor of it being discussed, but I don't think that a science class is the correct forum for a non-scienctific subject. Students would get pretty confused if their english teacher suddenly started teaching them maths, right?
Ok, so if a school included a class in the philosophy of inteeligent design by a "creationist" in parallel with scientific evolution by a science instructor, you would have no problem with that?
