It's child abuse to present the notion that evolution is false. You cripple their minds. Evolution is an expression of evidence, nothing more. If you deny this, you deny every tool they need to grow up and perform in society. You cripple them.
Don't abuse children this way.

The majority of the concious inhabitants of planet would disagree with you. By the way i said the 'Theory of Evolution'.

Well yes, the theory of evolution is a theory but as a teacher it would be a part of your contract to present the facts in favour in accordance with teaching guidelines in order to enable your students to pass their exams. To do otherwise would be a breach of contract and leave you open to disciplinary action.

Moor, i would not breach such a contract. But i don't think abandoning my own beliefs would be a part of the contract. And if it was i would opt for teaching in a faith school (although i would prefer a comprehensive). Og, its not mob mentality it's just a fact. Do you not believe in democracy?

| Stephen Colbert refers to this concept as "Wikiality"... There is no democracy where observation is concerned. Science has optimal solutions and empirical observations. There's no debate in science in this sense.. No "majority rules."
Want to abuse children because the majority says so? Hell no.

The theory of evolution can hardly be called empirical observation, but we've been through that already It's unfortunate that you think giving children a balanced view on evolution is 'abuse' i believe children should be able to choose what they believe.

The theory of evolution is ENTIRELY an expression of observations. Your notion of a "balanced" view of evolution is the child abuse. It is part of this poisonous "faith is a virtue" culture. Transmitting this notion of faith as virtuous is child abuse. It cripples their mind.

Why do you then say 'religion is not bad' if you feel exposing children to religion is child abuse.
