Evolution is part of our history, part of the history of species on planet earth. We should not hide away our kids from this fact just because a few bible bashing creationists in the US have hijacked the science classroom for their own agenda's in the states.

Education, education and education is the only way to ever prevent religion from being taught in the science classroom here as well. It's not science to attribute a whole process to god, yet fail to explain even one aspect of what is claimed to be god's work without resorting to ficticious bible quotes.

So, YES of course the history of life on our planet should be taught as a compulsory subject!

The kids who have been brainwashed by religion are probably more at risk of depression etc, if they later have to struggle in their efforts to become a critical thinker after years of being told whatever you want to exist must exist, or because the teachers wish it to exist - which is actually a pathetic way of teaching anyone, especially kids!
