Would Christians mind if schools teach evolution in a neutral perspective?

I beileive that schools should teach facts both in support of and against evolution and let the children choose their positions and debate on it not the parents. You have to remember school is supposed to help bring a future to the children not the parents. So let the children choose the future they want to pursue. Most likly the children will be supportive of their parents perspective anyways so if your religious you won’t need to worry about losing your child from your families treasured values.
So would evolution neutrality be a problem, for religious folkes?
Letting our children debate different perspective does not just depolarizes education, it also helps children learn the critical thinking skills of true scholars.

I agree with you Shawn B, however despite the logistic sense behind science, schools can appease critical parents and also let the children realise that by themselves.

If evolution is true then how come my son can’t breathe underwater?

According to the theory of evolution, random genetic mutations are the driving force behind adaptation. I live next door to a nucular (or nuclear in the “correct English”) power plant. Because of this, my DNA has undergone all sorts of random mutations, so my children should be very highly evolved.

I expected my son to be born with gills so that he could breathe underwater. He and I were going to become a father-son treasure hunting team. However, this is no longer possible, as my whole family has cancer thanks to the power plant. My son wasn’t highly evolved at all.

Doesn’t the fact that my son can’t breathe underwater disprove evolution?
I don’t want to worry anybody: my family doesn’t actually have cancer…

The part about wanting a son who could breathe underwater is true though…
