I agree with you! We shouldn't have this either/or mentality when teaching "science." We should present astrology alongside astronomy and let the kids decide which they believe. We whould present alchemy alongside chemistry and let the kids decide which they believe. We should present creationism alongside evolutionary biology and let the kids decide which they believe.
Think how our nation's science and industry would thrive if our engineers weren't forced into the extreme lock-step of Newtonism, but were free to learn that intelligent falling is just as valid as the theory of gravity?
