Those "competing views" need to pass the peer-review test (like all other science) before they're introduced into the classroom.
Your pet desires do not get a pass in that department.
My pet desires are that our future generations are not brainwashed through the public-education system into accepting a secular-humanist view of life. That is, of having an open mind.
Schools can't even read a statement that there may be some originating energy source that set all this in motion?
If your teachings cannot tolerate a little competition -- that has serious backing from large parts of the scientific community (of course, you discount it because you begin the experiment biased as to the outcome) -- then it is your pet desire that has yet to pass the test.
