And they do it in the name of "being fair". The sad thing is that a lot of people think that's a legitimate reason to taint education with crap.
I've gotta say.

last time I heard, Education was all about teaching us what was correct. Not about making the people who come up with alternative theories feel better about themselves. (I see this as kinda like letting a little kid play a game because he screams and screams about unfairness until someone takes pity and allows him to. Except that this isn't a game)

He's clueless, too. That's not a "game", that's what science is about: theories are in competition, and the ones with the greatest explanatory power and the most testable detail is the one that "wins".
