If a child were to come to me and said 'My daddy says God created the world, is that true? Would I say "no your father is lying to you or that he is wrong"? Of course not. I'd ask the child what they thought, and let tell them they should tell their father what they thought and see what he says.
Some things a child doesn't NEED to know, and little is done that is good by undermining their parents.
Now were that same child now in high school and I was his biology teacher, I still wouldn't take the approach to say your father was wrong. I'd instead say, this is what I think, this is why, and that its the best science has to offer. They could then decide where they want to go with it.
There really is no comparison between forcing teachers to teach intelligent design as a biological theory, and another teacher with issues of her own fucking with the mids of little kids. Now if they tried to force teachers to teach that Santa was real and have it included in text books, then you have a point.
