Personally I believe in a hybrid of both.

If you teach kids both there is obviously much more evidence that Evolution is correct and 9/10 students will concur. I bet the odds are lower than that today without it being included in the curriculum.

Besides if you don't expose students to Creationism...or other sensitive things it results in ignorance. It doesn't have to be presented as fact. It just needs to be understood.

Dang...that was quite the tangent...sorry gang.
Should we, then, teach about the Tooth Fairy in dental schools? Or astrology in astronomy classes? How about teaching chemistry students that, with the correct ingredients, they can turn lead into gold?
