Should public school "teach the controversy" surrounding evolution and intelligent design?

Article Abstract:

Alan I. Leshner, CEO of American Association for the Advancement of Science and Rep. Mark E. Sounder, R-Ind debate on whether public schools should teach the controversial 'evolution and intelligent design'. Sounder feels that theory should not be taught as an absolute but as a synthesis with the existing dominant scientific theory explaining the origin of species, while Leshner opposes the view by arguing that the American students should be taught to distinguish between true science and a system of belief based on faith.
