This is a start...critical thinking requires looking at the pros and cons each position.

[Names Ash Housewares]

“Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.
Trouble arises when either science or religion claims universal jurisdiction, when either religious dogma or scientific dogma claims to be infallible. Religious creationists and scientific materialists are equally dogmatic and insensitive. By their arrogance they bring both science and religion into disrepute. The media exaggerate their numbers and importance. The media rarely mention the fact that the great majority of religious people belong to moderate denominations that treat science with respect, or the fact that the great majority of scientists treat religion with respect so long as religion does not claim jurisdiction over scientific questions.” physicist Freeman Dyson

It seems that to some, critical thinking means silencing dissenters.

Too bad high schoolers are ill equipped to critically analyze evolution. They don't have the scientific background. Anything puportedly supporting 'creationism' isn't science and should not be in that class. It is doing a disservice to the students and dumbing down their education.
