So how are you supposed to teach a controversial subject? Well you teach all
sides and you let the audience decide

Don't you think that is how it should be?

Here is just one small site that illustrates vividly how controversial this matter is:

home.wxs.nl

So my point: let's teach all this to kids; the earlier the better, because this is going to require a lot of time to study it

Do you really think the material cited in
home.wxs.nl
is suitable for high school kids? University students - absolutely, but high school kids? They have too much on their plate already.

I would prefer to teach high school kids a course in critical thinking and exercise their faculties by writing papers challenging Evolution,
Creationism, Gravity, whatever.

I don't think that the creationists that supported the Kansas legislation had this sort of education in mind, do you?
