If people want their children to be religiously indoctrinated 5 days per week, they can send 'em off to religious schools.

Point 1: Science is its own religion. To believe in evolution takes a lot of faith.
Point 2: They are not attempting to add Creation to the textbooks, just to point out that there are other theories. There are parents who would say they don't want their children learning a scientific fairy tale just as you wouldn't want your children learning a religious fairy tale. How is it right to substitute one theory for others and completely ignore those others? Though I am a Creationist, I find various Native American creation stories to be fascinating. I would love for my children to learn about them, but there simply isn't enough time in the week. So, a statement regarding the THEORY of evolution not being a FACT seems appropriate to me.
Point 3...a question: What happened to everyone's tolerance on this thread?
