But, to repeat. All I meant was that as such an influential idea it needs at least mention because of its popularity. I'm not saying that if Hannah Montana is popular that it should be taught in a Fine Arts class just rather important issues like "how we got here."
I have no problem in history class and I agree, but teaching it as science? NO!!!!

But @ Dauth, I totally agree that religion (or anything else NOT backed by science, math or reason) should be totally absent in science and mathematics classes.
Agree there too.

Also @ Zero, Catholic schools are totally legitimate in teaching these ideals because they are private schools are not compulsory (in the US at least) as required by the Federal Government. It is the parents right to pull them out of the school and send them to a public school.
I know that, I went to one and learned the rights of a Catholic School, however, Science is a standard, its like Math, no matter where you go 2+2=4 (or fish in some cases....) and Energy=Matter. If you label something with no proof as Science, then it is not so. And if there is a school which only teaches Creationism... well, I won't touch on that. Anyway, Science is a standard, in that ALL Science needs to have proof, and therefore Creationism should NEVER be taught as a science. In fact, I think that there should be National Standards for ALL Science classes, made by REAL scientists of those fields.
