"I think we should have a choice: They should teach you both," said Meagan Hass, 14, while eating pizza after school at KT's restaurant with her friend Abbi Hake. "Evolution to me is like we come from monkeys."

Except that it's not, and this just shows that you haven't been paying attention in class. Besides, even if that were the summation of the theory of evolution, that still wouldn't make a whit of difference. We don't teach that "well, maybe slavery was okay" because white Southern students might be offended, do we? So what's the difference?

"because white Southern students might be offended" Did you mean black? I'm sure plently of white students would be too, of course.

I can't access this article, sadly. Is it basically a discussion of evolution/creationism being taught?

[conuly]

So-called Intelligent Design, but yeah.

Man, that "creationism" doctrine just keeps on changing through time. There's a word for that, isn't there?

[adiva_calandia]

For doctrines changing? Um. . . Paradigm shift? *shrug*

[conuly]

For changes through time.

Evolution.
