Creationism vs evolution in schools



In schools they should teach the kids to use their own opinion and logic to decide what it is they believe in. So with that said, I think that they should teach both subjects. That way, when both discussions are done, the children can choose the opinion that they believe and respect. If we force schools to teach evolution, it's like we are trying to take away the belief of creationism. That also brings up the topic of, if it's acceptable to teach other parts of the religion. I think it would be appropriate to teach other sections of the Bible or religion if it's in a seperate class. We had a class like this at my old school, and it was popular and was run quite well. I also think that religion and other opinions shouldn't be shoved down someone's throat. If they do not wish to listen, or hear it, that is their choice. But an alternative assignment should be given.
