Is that what you want in public schools? Non-scientific religious stories laid alongside scientific theories in science classrooms?
This is why I don't post on these threads... it's tired cliche after tired cliche.
You post your thoughts about creationism/ID about not being scientific. I post the tired, worn out scientific evidence that both refutes evolution and embraces ID. You tell me the scientists that I'm quoting are not "real" scientists. I give you their CVs. You're still not convinced and run back to your "it's a religion" argument. Neither of us listen to each other, and we've wasted everybody's bandwidth.
So, to answer your question: I would hope the school I sent my kids to would teach the pros and cons of every theory, giving more time to the more prevalent theories. That way, when my kid goes to college, he/she can ask intelligent questions and learn more about the world around him/her.
If somebody fears that, that's their problem. I want my kids to be able to question "truth", in whatever form it is.

Odd, becuase I've been looking at your posts since 2001, and I can't find a single one where you did this. In fact, I can't find anything prior to this discussion where you speak on the theory of evolution at all.
Feel free to present "evidence that both refutes evolution and embraces ID". Not that I expect you to do this, you'll just make something up about us not accepting it and duck the issue entirely.
Feel free to make a liar out of me.

I've never told you anything of the sort.
I give you their CVs.
When did you do this?

So 1) what are the "cons" of the theory of evolution and 2) what is the "theory" of ID, including what it predicts and falsification criteria?
And why did you dodge my question about teaching Native American creation stories?
