Better answer would be “that’s not a public policy question and hence a distraction to the real debate.
Except that the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools has been a public policy question for almost a century. It's a pity that it was wrapped around the axle with the grades K - 12 curricula.
As theory, it's not that bad until it conflicts with a literal interpretation of someone's Bible. Teaching it should have been left to colleges and universities, and you wouldn't have all this grief. As a practical matter, it doesn't do much good except offer an explanation for various disciplines of science.
The left has made such a mess of public education, with the theory of evolution they can distract from all the harm they have caused to the rest of basic education in grades K - 12. We have folks who don't understand diddly squat voting on Election Day, not to mention the demented, a personal observational from working at a nursing home.
The real debate is the poor quality of our schools, and the Democrats’ failure to allow accountability, choice, metrics, and high standards in the education system.
I think any answer to the question of school curriculum should refocus on those key points.
Fighting over one topic, when we have so many areas of mis-guided pedagogy is a travesty.
