Teach the controversy (none / 0)
The same tactics are used by those supporting the teaching of "intelligent design" in public schools. Under the guise of "teach the controversy" religious conservatives try to appeal to people's sense of neutrality and fairness. It's all part of the Republican War on empiricism which reduces all sides of an argument to opinion. It's detrimental to this country to ignore objective standards in formulating policy. Not all sides are equal, and we shouldn't pretend they are.
