This is exactly the problem with homeschooling. Here is a parent who thinks creation should be taught alongside evolution, and faults the public schools for not doing so. A two-sided approach can and must be faulted in this case. One is science, the other is fantasy. Creationism is not science by any stretch of imagination. It has no place in a biology classroom in public schools. We are doomed as a nation or a world if we entrust tomorrow's science and technology in the hands of children who were taught by homeshooling parents that creationism is just as scientific and valid as evolution, using the "two-sided approach".
