Should public schools teach the controversy...?

Question

Between astrology and psychology?

Should students have the right to know that not everyone thinks that the mind is based on biology and experiences but also the position of stars and planets?

Answer 1

When the theists acknowledge this "controversy" I'll acknowledge the supposed "controversy" between evolution and ID.

Answer 2

The most important controversy for children to be taught at school is between the tooth fairy and the FSM. They should get the hint that the FSM is the real deal and the tooth fairy is nothing but a toothless wannabe. The phrase "teach the controversy" is a pathetic sound byte by not-so-smarts.

Answer 3

Should evolution be taught along side creationism?

To be fair though, Creationism, I think, is taught in every fairy tale and fable we read to our children and therefore is taught before school.

Legally speaking it would have to be a voluntary course, as psychology is a volunary course, because astrology is considered a religious subject and therefore cannot be forced upon students in any school

Answer 4

I think schools should focus on the basics and leave the controversial to the collegian level.

Answer 5

You could make the exact same arguments for that as you could for Intelligent Design and evolution.

Answer 6

I think we have enough problems with the students learning basic math and reading right now.....But hey, why not.

Answer 7

P.I.T what makes you feel that homosexuality and evolution are wrong and abnormal aside from the bible?

Answer 8

No. But evolution and homosexuality being ok and normal should be forced down their throats.....oh yeah, that's already happening.
