Description

this is not objective "should", but rather for a vast majority notion where the benefits outweigh the negatives (not absolute, nor forcing every school to teach it).

This concerns public and private schools overall.

Intelligent Design: the theory that life, or the universe, cannot have arisen by chance and was designed and created by some intelligent entity. Note that "taught" does not mean this is treated as the truth, merely information given to the students.

I was tired when I wrote that part, so it was basically on autopilot. The point still stands, just needs minor correction.

I mean vote sorry

@K_Michael

thank you for your thoughtful response just to clarify I only support trade schools as a replacement for 9 through 12th grade education

Hope this gets a vote soon

Well, It probably won't for much tell us how correct is revolution, but the religious parents within the conservative households will rebel on the streets just after the day creationism is "on the syllabus".

@Intelligence_06

as usual, I'm playing devil's advocate. I don't really personally want to be taught creationism lol. I'm just going down the list of Edeb8's secret topics for fun.

@seldiora

This is the logic of that "National socialism should be taught in schools" to show how an ideology failed. Then again, why are the students taught an unproven theory, especially one less sound than the status quo? Just for criticism? Uniformity exists?! How do you expect the heavily religious students criticize the theory their church taught them?

@Sum1hugme

To be fair, that should've been clear from the context imo.

Ah crap I accepted before I read that technicality in the description about the word taught. I was thinking like in the science classroom
