Generally speaking, I do not believe public schools should teach students ethics and personal values. Every person is a unique human being with different views and beliefs, making values personal. School should be a safe, positive, and accepting environment where students can develop into "good citizens" just by being present. For example, I have learned from school to be a respectful and responsible young lady, even though it was never put into lesson plans, or actually taught by teachers.
Personally, I don't think science classes should teach students about evolution just because there are many students, such as myself, who believe in creation, or disagree with the idea altogether. I agree that it isn't fair to teach about any religion or religious values in public school, and therefore I do not think it is fair to teach a controversial theory.
