Can we assume you're all in favor of "teaching the controversy" in high school science classes regarding evolution? LOL!

Where is it in American history that freedom to debate ideas has been shut down and resulted in good?

Do you think that perhaps we should encourage debate on whether the Holocaust happened? Should we "teach the controversy" in history classes? Should we give equal time to the various nitwits who promote such ideas, so that our kids can grow up nicely exposed to all this crap?

So how exactly do you decide what we should encourage debate on, and when we should call idiots for trying to confuse people?
