If the majority in the community wish that evolution be taught and creationism not be taught, so be it. The converse is also true

What is the matter with teaching the truth? Why teach untrue things? Because the people want it? If evolution can't survive in academia without coercion and a massive infusion of public tax money, let it die.

There is nothing wrong with teaching the truth (especially when people want to hear it) but you can't force someone who doesn't want to hear it to listen. Sometimes you have to let a person hit rock bottom before they become "willing" to be helped. I believe evolution theory will hit rock bottom, and I advocate allowing it to fall (and thus allowing its followers to look elsewhere) than to force it underground (where it will survive in private waiting to rear its ugly head again).
