Religion Vs. Evolution in the Curriculum

The practicality of teaching evolution as a scientific theory as opposed to creationism in public schools.

Aside from the impracticality of teaching anything other than evolution in science class it is appalling to consider the possibility of incorporating religion into standard education because of the blatant violation of American values it entails. The ostensible problem with faith-based education is that it contradicts the very words of the constitution upon which are country was founded. It would also be an injustice to America’s youth to promote their ignorance by denying them the right to learn important scientific theories that children are readily being taught in other countries. Lastly it would be a great waste of hard working tax payers money to spend it on teaching faith based theories in school when they are already taught in depth at church. It would only be a waste of time to try to teach someone about religion that already is not committed a faith and going to church.

It should not even be an argument between the teaching of faith or evolution in school. The two are so radically different that they should not even be compared or contrasted in the same spectrum. Things should just remain as they are until further scientific theories on origin are uncovered so they can be taught as should be in an intelligent progressive human society. Religion should remain in the churches and science should remain in science class.
