Adding material expands the number of ideas the students are exposed to. Taking material away limits the number of ideas the students are exposed to.
Agreed (to an extent). I actually like the idea of adding more material to our curriculum. I support the teaching of religion and philosophy in schools. However, it's the how and why of its addition we should be mindful of.
Teaching ID in the science curriculum is the wrong way. It's not accepted by an overwhelming majority in the scientific community, and most who would disagree have as much business saying what they think a science teacher should teach as I do drawing up a syllabus in underwater basket weaving.
I'd rather rant in the appropriate thread, though.
