If they can't teach facts then they should teach nothing at all... bottom line.... evolution is in a sense religion (atheism). They should be required to get rid of the teaching of all of it all together and that would solve the problems. I mean, none of it can be proven as fact, it's all faith based. Leave it to the parents to teach.

Annette is wrong. If you get rid of the teaching of evolution, then you get rid of the teaching of biology along with any other branch science that has its roots in biology. This would be a grave mistake, as we'd very soon have a severe shortage of doctors, directly attributable to the fact that evolution has been banished from our curricula. An overwhelming amount of evidence supports evolution; hence, evolution is not a matter of faith but a matter of science, and without it the study of biology would be impossible, just as the study of linguistics would be impossible if we did away with the notion of the arbitrariness of the Saussurean sign.
