Does this article assume Christiam fundamentalist are opposed to hearing opposing views? So what if someone wants to present the theory of evolution, the big bang theory or whatever. Christians are not the ones so weak in their faith that they should oppose the study of what other people think.

Certainly at a Christian school the kids are going to get the teaching of creationism.

As I understand the debate going on in the teaching of evolution, it is those that believe in evolution that are intollerant of discussion of other beliefs.

Well now you've hit on something

Plus if you can reduce the holders of those beliefs to someone that society can do without, well then you can make progress

Evolution is not a belief. Evolution is a scientific theory. So the debate you seek is meaningless.

Many that believe in science and evolution are also believers in God. Many that believe in science and evolution enjoy discussion of beliefs.

However, Young earth creationists are completely intolerant of any evolution being discussed.
