Yes, I knew I was taking a simplistic approach to the problem. I also agree that the controversies should be addressed in the discipline in which they occur. Unfortunately, many of the controversies cross disciplines. YEC's and ID's believe that the science is wrong. The best way to address the science is in science but that inevitably leads to other questions.
The ideal yet nearly impossible solution would be a multi-disciplinary discussion. We regularly have those here on ASA with a number of problems yet I have learned a tremendous amount since becoming involved. I believe that despite the imperfections, we cannot stop teaching the controversies and problems.

Fine, but the "controversy" should be taught in classes that deal with
the areas in which controversy exists - in this case religion,
sociology or political science. What is misleading is to suggest that
there is serious controversy in science about whether or not evolution
has occurred.
