Christopher Hitchens has a piece in Slate arguing that science classes
SHOULD "teach the controversy."  After all, every time the "controversy" has
come up -- starting with Thomas Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce in 1860 --
evolution has won.  Students NEED to know this history!  ;-)

(In the last paragraph Hitchens--an adamant atheist--stoops to an
unnecessary and unfortunate general attack on religion.  Which is a shame,
since he was doing so well up to that point.)
