Given the average mentality, they can't really delve too deeply into the issue. The obvious long-term goal of allowing this debate in schools is to keep the average idiot off balance. The same thing applies to the upsurge in Christian fundamentalism, which is spearheaded by conservatives.

The good old days when anyone could just get a job, but a house, and support a family are gone. Those times existed because of cheap energy and because we were the main producer/supplier of manufactured goods for the rest of the world.

I'm sure most of these science teachers realize this, but if they were to proclaim it they would be branded as heretics.

It's just a game. Enjoy the spectacle.
