No that goes against the agenda of those that control the education system.

We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or science. We are not to raise up from among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply."
Rockefeller Foundation Director of Charity, Frederick Gates, 1913
Well I know that. But it still would make little sense for someone who feels that the point of education is critical thinking and the dissemination of unbiased facts and knowledge to want one or the other taught in public schools. If the goal is simply to remove the teaching of creation or intelligent design from public schools, then why does the antithesis have to be taught instead? Why not make a concerted effort to teach unbiased science?
