Like hell it does. By telling students there are different views about evolution it can only add to their education.
There are different views about almost everything. Should we teach students in history class that some people don't think Napoleon Bonaparte ever existed, and others think Jesus Christ lived in the 11th century?
I think the real problem is the confusion between the "real" science of plate tectonics and the very choppy, and much debated human evolution chain.
More the ideas presented better the decision- what needs to be taught is moral judgement.
"...puts America's schoolchildren at risk,"
Hmmm, I wonder if America's school children are put "at risk" when they find out that their President is getting bl*wj*bs in the Oval Office from an intern half his age???
No it does not add to their educatation nor does your statement.
What is stated in the article is very correct and as a former University Grad, 43 should have known the difference between science and belief.
Beliefs such as ID can be taught in school but only in the religious classroom. However, ID is NOT a defined scientific theory and as such should never be taught in science classroom.
I thought the president's physical conditioning was putting America's schoolchildren at risk? These people need to make up their minds.
Telling them that ID is science is lying to them. But hey, lying is par for the course in some quarters.
Can we also teach astrology as a viable theory?
Exactly. Plus there is much more harm to them in learning about sexual techniques in grade school. But, we can't have any independent thinking going on, now can we! ;-)
