Your capacity for misleading and distracting interpretation remains unparalleled. The elementary science classroom is not the place for "free thought", it is a place for learning what science is about...just as the English classroom is place for diagramming sentences and learning to spell, not for free debate over the value of eubonics and street slang.
You have demonstrated well that being patronizing and snotty is one possible tactic . . .
I tend to reply with the same tone in which I am addressed.
From my experience of you so far, you highly overestimate your capacity for constraint and temperance. As what directly follows should suggest:
You and your ilk have been "patronizing and snotty" from the get go, pal. I do not foresee any change in that regard. There is, however, substance behind the suggestion that you refrain from professional science and teaching unless you offer a qualifier or six. The philosophy room is down the hall to the left.
Touting for freedom of speech in an elementary science classroom suggests to me that you are underqualified to judge my teaching skills.
Science is about keeping an open mind to all possibilities where the universe has not been explained. Furthermore one cannot do science without an orderly universe, and an orderly universe is fairly significant evidence that intelligent design was involved in bringing it about.
. . . you are underqualified to judge my teaching skills.
Where science is concerned you appear underqualified to teach insofar as you appear all-too-willing to cut off free inquiry. Where philosophy is concerned, I'll leave it an open question.
