I've been reading a lot of questions on evolution/intelligent design/creationism lately. Why is it that Athiests want to completely eliminate the second two options from schools? When I was in school I was taught all three, and it was left up to the students to decide which to believe. There was no forcing of any beliefs. (For the record, I believe in intelligent design which, at least as I understand it, is a mix between evolution and creationism. Or in other words, I believe in the same science atheists do, I just think that's how God moved things along, you can call it whatever you want.)
I agree that there should be a separation of church and state, but I think that trying to completely eliminate these other two teachings makes athiests the hypocrites they constantly accuse Christians of being by trying to force their beliefs on others. What's wrong with putting all three out as suggestions? It's not like intelligent design and creationism are minority views.
