The development of Intelligent Design is rooted in the political arena rather than scientific endeavor. Even with given modern scientific advances, teaching evolutionary theory in public schools is still infamously controversial. The main argument stems from contradictions to long-held interpretations of man’s creation in the Book of Genesis and the views of Protestant fundamentalists in the legislative branches of government (Lugg and Robinson). After years of legislative and legal debate, the courts ultimately ruled the state could not extract a scientific theory from school curriculums because of the theory’s apparent contradiction to religious doctrine (Lugg and
Summary of why evolution should be taught in public schools In her essay “Why evolution should be taught in public schools”, Laura H. Kahn argues imperative concern on why evolution should be taught in public school. She argues that our children, our future scientist and world’s leading healthcare frontiers, needs to receive a good science education to further enhance human understanding. Without scientific based education and understanding of evolution, it would be infeasible to understand and research and treat for various biological and medical diseases, antibiotic resistant bacteria, emerging viruses and deadly microbes. Kahn also explained the long history of human kind on battle of disbeliefs between evolution theory (belief of evolving biologically) and creationism (spontaneous generation from deity), which began in nineteenth century between scientists, who were known as the leading scientist at the time. Felix-Archimede Pouchet, believed in spontaneous generation and published 700 page book which claimed to prove that the life could originate from inanimate matter, thus life from deity.
Colleges all over the US have decided to raise the amount of standardized tests that are required to be considered to be accepted into their college.

Colleges and ACT have come together to create the all new ACTT. This test will be required for all students who wish to apply to any college in the US. The new standardized test comes with reading, math, english, writing, science, and social studies.

Government intervention into the media is a hot topic these days, filled with controversy and blame. Every group is pointing the finger at another group. Parents are blaming the government for not helping, government is blaming the media for not censoring material, and others are blaming the parents for not censoring and protecting their children. Our society is getting nowhere. there is no solid proof that the media causes violence, and although parents do a lot to help and protect their children, there are still some steps that can be taken to protect their children against violent and sexual material.
But this injures students educationally as well. While the rest of the world references Vietnam in many of today’s situations or debates on whether Iraq is the next Vietnam and other issues, high school students are left out of the loop because their high school textbooks and teachers refuse to teach them what they should learn, what they ought to learn. High school students are hurt the most because of this. While textbook authors and editors are not likely to break away from the template soon, they should at least find a way around the system to provide pictures and information that would give students sufficient knowledge on the topic of Vietnam. That way students would be able to keep up with issues from which parallels to Vietnam are drawn or participate in such

However, creationism says that the world and living things was created by God. Creationism refuses the idea of evolution and it causes some arguments about whether evolution should be taught in schools or not. Evolution should be taught in schools so that students can gain different points of view about human nature. Creationists believe that creationism explains the existence of God. They do not believe that species change into totally different and separate animals through evolution, as sacred books mention about existence of God and they contains strict rules.
Many students and teacher across the state and nation have similar issues as well. I do not believe that the district should measure a student’s intelligence based on standardized test scores because it is inaccurate way of measuring their full potential. The district should also not use the tests to measure intelligence because if schools
As evolution is part of science, and science is part of the school system, the compromise is often that instructors are not allowed to teach evolution if they try to preach it is the truth and that religious views are invalid. It is also believed that if evolution is allowed to be force-taught on many students, that religion should be a required course as
