Is it really that important, at a High School level at least, to teach
something that is so controversial?

Let people learn about it in a college class, or perhaps they will see
it in a documentary.

Nether evolution nor intelligent design is that important to everyday
life to be forced down people's throat.

But of course the Left have to control everything don't they.  And
yeah, this is the fault of the Left as promotion of "intelligent
design" was just a reaction to them forcing down evolution in a public
school setting.

By  they way, I do tend to believe in evolution, but that doesn't
negate the possibility of a "designer". And I don't believe evolution,
at least as currently understood provides a complete answer. I see
don't get how the intermediate steps in the transformation of species
from one species to another happens just through the process of
"survival of the fittest.  Sure a finger would be useful in survival
but would the intermediate steps that would be needed to get finally
to the finger be?  There is something missing in the evolution theory.
Perhaps someday someone would figure that part of it out.
