Why do they assume that 'Creation' means just the story in the Bible/Talmud? If one belief system gets a stage, then they ALL have to or there is no equality before the law, and therefore the state is by default advocating for one religion above others.

And while we're at it, let's also teach the other 'controversies':

- Give Biblical hydrography equal time - somewhere on earth there must still be enough water to flood the whole place
- Give Biblical mathematics equal time - the Bible says pi is 3, and anything past the decimal place is blasphemy
- Give Biblical cosmology equal time - the stars are just lights shining through from heaven, the earth is the center of the solar system, and the Moon produces its own light
- Give Biblical geology/geography equal time - the earth is flat, and somewhere there is a mountain from which one can see the entire surface of the earth

Now the kids will REALLY be well-equipped when they've been taught all the controversies, and not just the one about creation/abiogenesis/the development of life.

Teach ALL the controversies...or better yet none of them.
