Foregoing a year of biology produces ignorance of biology.

What a crock. I never suggested foregoing a year of biology. Stop putting words in my mouth and misrepresenting what I said.

Like I said before, you need to refresh yourself on the scientific method. Cherry picking data is dishonest at best. Also teaching 'both' is not equivalent to teaching neither.

You totally evaded the comments about the quality of public education. That was as big a non-answer as any I ever saw.

If someone hasn't been exposed to or taught something, they are by definition ignorant.

Then by that reasoning, you are advocating ignorance because by teaching evolution, there is something else in Biology that they are neglecting. There's simply no way that you can consider what is taught in your typical public school high anything class as comprehensive.

Considering that the study of biology is based on our understanding of evolution it would be impossible to teach a creditable biology class without mentioning evolution. That would be like teaching a course in auto mechanics without mentioning the internal combustion engine.

You can't really teach biology without teaching evolution.

I don't support tax payer funded public education.

Biology doesn't make any sense except in the concept of evolution. A proper education isn't to try and provide all knowledge, rather it is to teach them how to learn for themselves by giving them the basics. Evolution is a basic for biology, in the same way that learning the alphabet is a basic for reading or numbers are a basis for equations.
