Creationism In Our Classrooms

I personally don't think that creationism should be taught alongside evolution. The obvious point is that creationism is not science; it's religion. The reason evolution can be taught in our biology classes is because we've been able to back it up with scientific evidence, whereas creationism simply is.

Some might say that both ideas should be taught so students can choose what they want to believe on their own. However, that is entirely unnecessary. The text book isn't forcing you to accept evolution, but is simply putting it out there. Just because a kid sees it in their science book doesn't mean they're going to up and go start renouncing their religion in front of their parents. They can go put them in a private school if they care so much.
