I saw this link and knew it should be part of our discussion. It talks about a school district in Wisconsin that has opened the door for alternatives to evolution to be taught in public schools. Please take the time to browse the article, then tell us what you think.

Here is a small excerpt from the article, which can be found at cnn.com:

GRANTSBURG, Wisconsin (AP) -- School officials have revised the science curriculum to allow the teaching of creationism, prompting an outcry from more than 300 educators who urged that the decision be reversed.

Members of Grantsburg's school board believed that a state law governing the teaching of evolution was too restrictive. The science curriculum "should not be totally inclusive of just one scientific theory," said Joni Burgin, superintendent of the district of 1,000 students in northwest Wisconsin.
