"Since it takes all of five seconds, why not present an opposing view when teaching Evolution?"

I agree. And also, they should talk about how science has repeatedly debunked the ideas of creationism from the bible.

Agreed. I don't know why there's this FEAR of confronting religion in a science class. And when folks take the religious education of their choice outside of school, they can get the other point of view.

As a non-believer I had no problem with what Bush said, but Santorum's position is just odd, to me, for some reason.

Science has done no such thing, but you believe that if you so choose. God gave us a free will.

That's a pretty bold statement. Care to provide examples? And please provide references, if possible.

Would you mind quoting specifics?
Generalizations work great for liberals, but as a conservative I like facts more than generalizations or FEELINGS.

Better yet, teach them that there's only one respectable point of view, ridicule all the others and people who hold to them, laugh at them if they even question the dogmatic orthodoxy you're shoving down their mind-numbed throats, ridicule them mercilessly if they even show the slightest sign of thinking for themselves or approaching science with a hint of academic skepticism, and then watch as the school system marches out millions of little brainwashed secular humanist idiots just as Mann and Dewey hoped.

Oh, wait...

Correction: True science (as opposed to Scientism) has repeatedly upheld the truth of Scripture and debunked men's personal interpretations of Scripture, both in the past and today.

"..In many ways, the historic controversy of creation vs. evolution has been similar to Galileo's conflict, only with a reversal of roles...

The "traditional beliefs" that Galileo opposed ultimately belonged to Aristotle, not to biblical exegesis."

"...science is said to be religiously neutral, if only because science and religion are, by their very natures, epistemically distinct. However, the actual practice and content of science challenge this claim. In many areas, science is anything but religiously neutral; moreover, the standard arguments for methodological naturalism suffer from various grave shortcomings. .."
