True, but science education - in grade school especially, is more than just science. In fact the schools tend to present a host of ideas that are presented as science but are little more than social convention (i.e. global warming, social justice). I don’t believe that creationism has a meaningful place in the technical discussion of science.

Global warming is not merely social convention, unless you are willing to ignore a significant amount of valid scientific research. Global warming itself, is separate from debate over the potential causes or means to mitigate it. It’s a scientific fact that the earth goes through cycles of warming and cooling.

Why does global warming always get brought up when discussing evolution? It has no bearing on the discussion.
