    Astrology is widely discussed. Should that be taught in schools too?

    I do, but I am on your side of this issue. Evolution is what should be taught in science class. Creationism/Genesis is for Sunday School or literature class.

    I do, and this is good.

    Accepted scientific theories should be taught in science class.

    We don't want holocaust denial to be taught in history class, just because many people believe that. We shouldn't teach "both sides" of the "debate" either, letting the kids decide whether or not the holocaust really happened. That is stupid.

    Present the facts as we best know them, simple as that.

    sure, but present it as a theory not a fact
