There is a difference between telling students that their religions are false and telling them that the empirical evidence gathered by biologists proves that some teachings of their religion are false. In our politically correct society, we have a tendency to abandon the truth in the name of not offending anyone. It would be highly unethical, in my opinion, to prevent teachers from speaking the scientifically verifiable truth just because doing so will ruffle a few feathers.
There is no contradiction between evolution and God, as has been said many times. However, there is an evident conflict between the world as it appears today and intelligent design. Namely, the world is not very efficient, some aspects of the world don't work very well, some creatures are poorly suited for their environment, and, most importantly, there is no evidence that any sort of designer exists. The world itself is evidence for, at best, a mediocre designer.
