I'm not sure where Senor Gobucks was going with it, but it a topic of great interest to me. I'm sure he has other ideas.
I'm pretty sure he wants to raise the issue of stifling creativity by forcing kids to accept canned science instead of debating the origin of life in bull sessions.
This is a tough issue for me because I had a chemistry teacher in high school who beat the interest out of me with forced memorization and rote recitation. He said I had a cluttered mind, to which I responded better cluttered than empty.
I think the answer lies in better ways of presenting the arguments for evolution. The concept is very difficult an needs to be taught as a series of historical questions and approaches. Why was ID formulated in 1802 and why was it rejected. Maybe this needs to be offered outside the regular biology class.
I'm currently reading Complexity. It's not a recent book, but it's interesting. One of the things you realize when reading it is that the idea of evolution is resisted even by scientists when it impinges on their non-biological domains.
