Creationists, Pure Trinitarianism versus the Arian View?
Should we teach both sides, shouldn't religious schools teach "controversy?"
You want controversies between creationism and evolutionary biology taught. Do you also want all the various controversies regarding Christian Dogma taught to you children, presented on equal footing, so that they can decide for themselves?
"your" not "you"

Oh man, they don't want that. The horse-trading, committee compromises and outright persecutions that it took to forge modern Christianity are quite ugly to behold.
Besides, "My grampa ain't no monkey!" makes for a better catchphrase than "Heteroousianism is critically flawed doctrine!"

May I counter your silly question with another silly question? Should we lock up Christians for their beliefs like we imprison neo-nazis? No.
I personally would rather evolutionists get to teach their theory in school, and creationists work to educate people on the truth of the Bible outside of school.
Schools teaching "controversy" wouldn't help creationists, as it would be taught from a very biased perspective and the children would think they'd be taught both sides when actually one side hasn't been taught to them properly.

I'd just like the evidence to be presented in an unbiased way.
The evolution hypothesis has many flaws and failings that qare simply ignored.
Why would you want people to be taught a biased poitn of view that is not supported by the evidence?

Sure, we can, and we do, in a world religions class. But world religions class and theology class are two different things. World Religions teaches about different religions and their various denominations and teachings. Theology classes focus on one single view and stick with it.
