What is the origin of the human species and how do we implement it in our school's curriculum? That very topic has been hotly debated over the course of a few hundred years as mankind questions it existence, yet the obvious answer still eludes us to this very day. So which one is correct? Evolution or Intelligent design.
According to my colleague Breona, the Texas state government has been battling to answer that very question amongst themselves. Thus making it quite difficult in searching for an answer that appeases both sides on how to implement that in the current science curriculum in public schools. On one side, you have the faithful who strongly believe that there is some higher being that have placed us here and that teaching their children otherwise would be a direct violation of their parental rights. Then there are the scientific minded who believe that by not teaching evolution in our science curriculum is essentially disregarding a important aspect of science.
With all the different opinions and biases, even in our local governments, how will they ever decide on the answer. I totally agree with Breona. This topic will always be debated over and over again until, by some miracle or science, a definite answer will finally put it to rest. But as we wait for that day, our government should focus less on the religious implications and just finding a way to either teach it or not.
