I don't think it should focus on any one religion either. Do you think each should be given equal time....such as 'Creation: Darwin -vs- Creation?

What you said about kids not yet being old enough to make up their own minds is a great point! Out of the home they would only get perhaps a one dimensional parental perspective....but an overall school teaching would give them enough basis to build an opinion on later in life......I would think.

I'm just asking opinion since this all seems to be such a controversy these days. I also wonder if we, those of us who are parents, expect our children to blindly chose our own beliefs? I don't want my kids to do that....which is why I somewhat back the ideology of every religion/belief to be presented.
