No, we would simply enforce the neutrality rule in the establishment clause. Teaching all the science you want and leaving religious aspects out as inappropriate given that law.

Do you oppose the neutrality requirement? I’m getting the impression that is where this topic really went, albeit with only a 30 minute or so look at a big thread on a big topic.

But you can’t remain neutral on some things in science. The earth is 4.5 billion years old. Fact. You can’t stay neutral on that when a kid firmly believes it’s 6000 years old. Is the teacher to just side step that and do a disservice to the rest of the class?
