The main controversy in the teaching of science, to me, is when it takes an atheistic, rather than an agnostic-ish, position.

What exactly is the difference?

The difference is between science saying or implying "[science proves] God doesn't exist" and saying or implying "God may or may not exist, we aren't going there".

I agree with what you wrote but have you ever heard of a teacher saying such a thing to a class? Is this really an issue? Is it necessary for the OK house to pass a bill preventing teachers from getting on all fours and barking like a dog also?
