Gravity I Like It

From the latest American Family Ass. survey

Should students be exposed to different ideas, or should they be shielded from information about intelligent design? Give us your opinion.

Yes, students should be exposed to the theory of intelligent design in public schools.
No, the theory of evolution is the only theory which should be taught in public schools.


This is a great example of a totally biased question. The American Family Ass is clearly trying to get you to click "yes" it is the default choice and they use the word "exposure" and not taught.
Yes children should be exposed to the theory of intelligent* design but NOT in their science classes, because it is NOT science based. They should be exposed to it in their political science classes because intelligent* design is political maneuver by the Christian fundamentalists to bring their myths into schools for early indoctrination.
The "No" answer is equally as biased, no evolution shouldn't be the only theory taught, number theory, the theory of relativity, game theory and even music theory should also be taught. Should it be the only theory taught given any credence related to how man has evolved? Yes.

*I don't like to use intelligent when discussing this in the future it will be referred to as ignorant design
