It is not that Evolution should not be taught in Science class, it is the idea that the flaws in the theory should NOT be offered to the students as well.

The "flaws" that creationists keep pushing have been evaluated by science and found to have no merit. That's not surprising, as they are really religious beliefs. As beliefs, they are not subject to dismissal by the evidence, so they keep hanging around, pushed by generation after generation of creationists as if they did have some scientific merit.

As for critical thinking skills, do you really want those applied to your religious beliefs? If so, lets start with the 6,000 year old earth and the purported global flood and see where critical thinking leads, eh?

“The flaws in evolution have been investigated..”

Cough BS Cough cough...

So every question that could possibly be raised about Evolutionary Theory has been completed investigated and reproducable answers have been proferred to answer them?

And to make the counter that “well do you want 6,000 year old”

Who said that? It is sound reasoning to question everything, to not do so, is to reduce oneself to a mere repeater of slogans...
