Christine O'Donnell is batshit crazy

Although she's too radical for my liking, I think what's she is saying here is being taken out of context. I don't think she is saying schools should be required to teach the theory of intelligent design, but rather that schools can choose to teach it if they so wish. She's not saying "it will be a required subject to teach" at all. To me, that doesn't seem wrong. I know in my biology class, our teacher was super liberal and yet he still decided to teach us about many theories. He taught us about the alien intervention theory, the theory of intelligent design (both Christian and other religions), and the theory of evolution. He felt it was fair that all viewpoints were given the chance to be taught, and then the student could then decide for themselves what they believed. I came out of that class endorsing the theory of evolution, but I thought it was great that he shared many viewpoints on the subject.

I don't disagree that people should have the ability to learn things on their own accord but l don't think we should do an all or nothing. Let's take this same thought and apply it to other classes like history: Should we allow teachers to teach conspiracy theories or teach with an anti-conservative, anti-liberal mindset, pro-slavery, or have any sort of bias input? You probably answered no or even said "well they'd have to vote for it" and frankly looking at the Texas state bored of education, I wouldn't put it past people to vote to teach a bias (i mean where like what, 80% Christians in this nation, you can pretty much assume intelligent design would be taught in schools). As well I don't think we should teach unsupported hypothesis and allow children to make decisions based on a short time period in which most of said ideas will be glanced over a (seriously Wikipedia probably gives a better more in depth description of evolution then most high school teachers).
