New evolution spat in U.S. schools goes to court

New evolution spat in U.S. schools goes to court: "PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A new battle over teaching about man's origins in U.S. schools goes to court for the first time next week, pitting Christian conservatives against educators and scientists in a trial viewed as the biggest test of the issue since the late 1980s.

Eleven parents of students at a Pennsylvania high school are suing over the school district's decision to include 'intelligent design' -- an alternative to evolution that involves a God-like creator -- in the curriculum of ninth-grade biology classes."

What is wrong with presenting 2 points of view? If one is more truthful then the other, then the students wil be able to decide. Or iis it that the evolution is the weaker theory of the two?
