But it seems to me that the public education system has a duty to educate students in the best manner possible.
Modern biological science (wether you "believe" in it or not) can really only be understood in the context of evolution, so should biology not be taught? It used to be considered religious truth that the Earth was at the center of the universe, should we not teach Newtonian physics, as it seems to indicate that the Earth moves?
