cool story, bro.

All the frauds get exposed due to the process of peer review. Scientists question the work of other scientists FIERCELY.
I'm not aware of any scientific frauds in recent text books. I think the last fraud was the "Piltdown Man" back in 1912. It was exposed as a fraud in 1953.

For the same reason they censor astrology from them.

CREATIONISM ISN'T SCIENCE.

Grow up.

Science is not the same as science history. Science corrects it's frauds (did you really think that it was the church that figured out the few cases of it?)

Yes, there are controversies in science, but in order to actually have a valid opinion in them you need a significant understanding of the subject matter. (Science does not claim that there are no controversies...)

Because there is no controversy for scientists. The theory of evolution is almost universally accepted. Imagine How much you would learn in science if you had to be taught every 'controversy' that people felt you should be taught.

Storck Theory vs Sex Theory
Round Earth Theory vs Flat Earth Theory
Intelligent Design (no evidence) vs Evolution (substantial evidence)

Real controversy's are taught in science but only where there is evidence for them. Evolution is well supported with factual evidence and is the only current scientific theory which explains the development of life on earth.

I don't get why people want to play it 'fair' and teach both sides of a virtually non existant arguement within science. In science being fair means teaching what the evidence says and only the evidence. Peoples opinions and points of view don't matter - only the evidence.

or put another way:

"You don't have to teach both sides of a debate if one side is a load of crap." -Bill Maher

Giving creationism a chance is like starting a lecture on genetics with the stork bringing the baby theory, its just rubbish, get out of the way and let science be science please.

Censor passages such as?

They don't. They do, however, omit unscientific nonsense many creationists insist are controversies.

I think flat-earthers should be given equal time too.
