To teach or not to teach...

Bush says that public schools should teach Intelligent Design alongside evolution.

“I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought,” Bush said. “You’re asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.”

Taken at face value... I don't disagree with what he said. Being exposed to different schools of thought is a key component of teaching students critical thinking skills. As I'm sure even critics of teaching ID would readily agree with.

The question is: Should Intelligent Design be taught alongside evolutionary theory?
