I disagree.

Thank you. (You meant that you disagree with the statement "Biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it", right?)

OK, so then, what specifically SHOULD be changed about mainstream high school biology curricula when it comes to teaching evolution?

I don't know and I don;t care. My opinion is the ACLU and federal court fiat should stay out of it.

They can teach a giant turtle created the earth for all I care.

What should be taught is reading writing and math. Biology should be inroductory which is describing life in all its forms and the differences and commonalities.

Good biology curricula have been around for decades and the new agenda driven liberal curricula should be avoided at all costs and the basic introductory issues kept. It's worked well and we have had the most advanced science in the world in the US without the obsessive focus on evolution.

As an observer it is so easy to see it is because liberal agendas-ists have begun using biology to push socio-politcal agendas (as they are doing in just about every humanity course) so there has been a backlash.

Generally public school education today is bad and why anyone would think talking about evolution is a major issue and would even be done well by our liberal teachers unions is strange and quite a waste of energy if one is conservative.

Obsessing on this issue as the ACLU and rabid secularists have done is a litmus test for liberalism and one needs not to believe in or be on any one "side" to know this.
