Do you accept the teaching of the evolutionary theory in schools?
​
You can teach it in schools, so long as you teach that its a hypothesis instead of a fact.
Which, of course, it is not, and thats just lying to young minds and corrupting them. Making them see one way and not the other. If you let yourself see to just whats in front of you, you could get attacked from behind. Its just not right.
​
Based upon the above concern we should teach children nothing
about religion (any religion).
​
Since little or no aspect of any religion can be outright
proven to the satisfaction of everyone then it should not
be used to corrupt young minds.

In the UK we call that 'religious studies' and that's
exactly what is taught.
​
The point I was making really was that objection to the
teaching of evolution on the grounds that it is brainwashing
the young with unsupportable claims leads to the need
for a complete abandonment of religious instruction.
​
An unfortunate, but typical example of 'creationist' double
standards.
