[Wormwood]

Any student is going to find both points of view in the world, they ought to find it in school.

Really?

Let's compile a quick list of fallacious or unsupported concepts that have multiple points of view in the world.:

* Alien Abductions are occuring with frightening regularity.
* Moon Landing? Hollywood trickery!
*Your personality and the quality of your life are determined by the position of Jupiter and Mars at the moment of your birth.
*A living Plesiosaur resides in a lake in modern-day Scotland.
*And don't get me started on the "so-called Holocaust"

Teach the controversy? No. Teach the best available facts.

I'm pretty sure I discussed many of those subjects in classrooms of my youth. Some in high school, some in college.

Pretty interesting discussions, too :~)

Well put. "Teach the controversy" is the desperate cry of people who can't actually articulate a coherent, reasonable position.
