    Argument: Schools exist to teach. ... In fact doing such...

    Creationism and/or Intelligent Design should not be to taught in schools.

    As disappointing as it is to be stood up, I’ll make this quick. Argument: Schools exist to teach. They Argument: Schools exist to teach. They should continue to do so. Schools have two basic categories of teaching, the official teachers in class, and the other students inside and outside of the classroom. While preventing the teachers from in any way teaching those terms would be simple enough, it would be impossible to enforce against the students. Not to mention, there would be zero benefit to students not knowing their meaning. Furthermore, it'd be quite comical having a school policy against using those terms, but refusing to tell any of the students what they mea0 or why they aren't allowed to use them. In fact doing such would make them more likely to use them, so they'd probably need to be a secret list of banned words, which students get expelled for using (again, without being told why).
