One important point about evolution that is seldom dealt with either
pro or con: Evolution is the basis of biology. If you are not teaching
evolution, you are not teaching a complete curriculum in biology. So
even the passive leaving out of evolutionary theory where it should
exist in any aspect of biology, leaves discrepancies in biological
theory. The oppression of science teaching by extremists creates a
subtle culture of intimidation that affects much more than a few
school districts in which there is a large-scale and blatant assault
against teaching evolution, it also affects many other formal and
informal aspects of science teaching. The silence is deafening.
