IMO, pixie dust suffers entirely unwarranted exclusion from American science classrooms, only gaining entrance through the pleas of exam takers and hottie oglers.

The reason creationism and climate change denialism have no place in the classroom is because they have no basis whatsoever in actual scientific observations of the world. Opinions don’t matter at all in a scientific setting if they are not backed up by evidence. That is the way it should be, otherwise it isn’t science anymore.

Everyone has a different opinion on the topic of climate change and that is how it should be.

You actually WANT people to be unable to agree on a matter of objective fact? You actually think that inability or unwillingness to face reality is a GOOD thing?

Michael,
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But they are not entitled to their own facts.

If a professor can bring up the topic of abortion in a class, which to me is just as much of a classroom stirrer, then schools should bring up the topic of Evolution and climate change denial-ism. Everyone has a different opinion on the topic of climate change and that is how it should be. Not everyone can think the same as not everyone is the same person. These schools should not censor these topics in class. They should bring up the topic of whether our environment is changing or not. They teachers should promote calm and free speaking in the class. This way student can learn from others and can freely express themselves instead of staying quiet throughout the class. Classes are for intellectual learning and should not have censorship involved.
