At this point in time, there’s no other place to teach it.

I’ve yet to see a public school offer courses like comparative religion or philosophy.

OTOH, even if it were taught there, there would still be the issue of the teaching being presented as, *This is taught in science class. It is true*, and *This is taught in philosophy class. It is subject to your interpretation and preference.* Both should be presented in the same class to prevent the subtle but clearly implied bias that will come with it.

Evolution is part of the God-free creation account of the secular humanist and atheist. Until it can also be separated from that context, it doesn’t belong in science class either.

Evolution is still part of the ideological battle going on and as it is being used as a weapon in that battle as the primary one to attack Christianity and as it is not being presented properly either through textbooks or teacher qualifications, it ought not to be taught in schools at all.

Nice attempt at setting up the straw-man but the fact is that the evolutionary theory does not address the existence of God since that falls outside of the realm of science

So is the Pope a secular humanist or an atheist?

Most public secondary institutions offer comparative religious studies as both a major and a minor.

"Evolution is still part of the ideological battle going on and as it is being used as a weapon in that battle as the primary one to attack Christianity..."

Evolution is accepted by the Catholic Church. Are you saying that the Catholic Church is anti-Christian?
