It's good pedagogy to teach kids bad science?
[Those opposed to teaching about climate change and evolution] are making a pedagogical argument, that it is somehow good pedagogy, good critical thinking, for students to learn both. That it is somehow a good pedagogy for students to learn good science and bad science.

Hear, hear! The "controversies" over evolution and global warming are NOT about two competing scientific theories, each with comparable amounts of supporting evidence. It's about science vs personal belief. We don't need to bring unsupported beliefs into our classrooms and dress them up as science.
