I don't think that excluding all teaching of the origins of man from public
schools suddenly makes public schools vocational schools. Biological
science can be taught at the competency levels of just about any high school
student without ever broaching that subject, and thus avoid any of the
controversy. Natural selection, and selective breeding can be taught
without ever touching the controversy.
Then you haven't been paying attention to the controversy.
Biologists and scientists are quite capable of distinguishing between
natural selection/evolution and abiogenesis.
Unfortunately, their opponents are not capable of understanding the
distinction.
Hybrid plants, and the definition of
species can be taught without ever touching the controversy. Biological
relationships and anatomical similarities can all be taught without ever
teaching about the origin of man.
That is really no longer true. There have been some significant
shufflings in the biological classifications due to DNA analysis.
In addition, you cannot talk about things in the news like MRSA without
talking about how organisms evolve.
