Should "Creationism" be taught in public schools?

No, of course not, because it's unsubstantiated BS.

It'd be like teaching kids that the Tooth Fairy is real.

Bring this back to your teacher:

It doesnt matter what opinions we bring back. Epperson vs. Arkansas and Edwards vs. Aguillard are the two court cases that hold teaching of creationism in public schools unconstitutional.

It cant be done.

Id also like you to ask your teacher why is this being presented to students in an undergraduate setting and not at the university level? If the Universities wont teach it, why then is your teacher trying to confuse students - allowing them to think there is some sort of wiggle room on this?

To specifically answer your question - No. because it violates the establishment clause of the Constitution.

Sure, along with the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny and other myths.

We teach Greek and Roman mythology, including what they thought about the origins of the world, and the Native American thing about the world being supported on the back of a turtle- why not the odd myths of Christianity?

No way. Creationism is completely based on a single religious belief, and I don't think the Christians who are fighting for this would be happy with the Daoist creation story being taught as science. The only thing that should be taught in school are things with physical evidence behind them, e.i. big bang, evolution.

I say no and that i'm a fundamentalist. extremely we live in a u . s . a . and function a central authority the place faith isn't pushed down the throat of the prevalent public. i does not elect to deliver my toddler to a school that taught him issues consistent with a faith i do no longer agree so think of how different father and mom could experience

In science classes? Absolutely not since it's not science nor is ID. If a course in creationism from multiple cultures was taught then I would be okay with it but we know that's unlikely.

I think that the mythologies of various major religions, both current and obsolete should be taught to increase cultural understanding, BUT ONLY AS THEORIES! The teacher should never say that it's real!

No... It could spawn all sorts of problems in the classroom also..

No, with all due respect, it's crap.
