Wow, way to make a blanket statement there....
I was raised in Georgia and while I do not agree with the public school system on a lot of issues (which is why my daughter is taught at home AND believe it or not she's a true georgian and placed in the top 2% of the nation in her last round of testing) but I will agree...children need to be taught both sides. I do not agree with the theory of evolution but that does not mean I do not want my daughter taught about it. She will have a lot easier time carrying on well thought out discussions on the matter when she has been well informed about both sides...then as she gets older its her CHOICE to decide which one she believes in. I think that not informing the kids about it does more harm than good.
In my opinion, children who are taught only one side of things tend to turn out very very biased about other people, their beliefs, and might just have a tendancy to make unwarranted judgements on a whole groups of people.
