There is a big difference between teaching and exercising religious views.
Yes, that is correct, I would totally agree if it were being taught that way. But are we talking about it being taught as fact or as a competing theory when origins are discussed in Science class?

Like I said earlier, prohibiting discussion because it involves religious dialog also violates the First Amendment.
