should public schools teach creationism

I accept and will be refuting his statement before presenting my own arguments.-----My opponent starts with the argument that " ... it is discrimination towards other religions.", saying that "...you are being taught against your religion or belief. I think that is wrong ..."There's a few problems with this, and I will also be proposing a few solutions within my own arguments:First: Turn this argument in my favor - teaching contradicting viewpoints to one's own is good as it allows for people who have only experienced one view point to have different view points to consider. This is good because it creates an environment where students can critically examine their own views and the views of others in a safe learning environment so that they can further develop their own views into something that more accurately reflects the truth from their perspective. Saying "teaching things that go against people's beliefs is bad" necessarily prevents this safe introspection, making the growth of student's views on the world more problematic.Second: This isn't something exclusive with the teaching of creationism in public schools. Last time I checked, evolution's take on the creation of the world is different from the stories of creation defended by Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and others that are frequently worshipped within the US and elsewhere. Negating doesn't change this, whereas I will propose solutions to this in my own arguments.His response will be that this isn't the same because evolution is scientifically proven whereas the stories of religions are not. But that argument isn't responsive to what I'm actually saying: if what he says is correct and teaching curriculum that goes against someone's beliefs, then it's actual validity doesn't change the fact that we're still teaching something that goes against someone's own beliefs. -----I will now propose two ideas as my arguments here. Both ideas solve for the problems brought up within my opponent's last round while still introducing creationism into the teaching curriculum.Solution One: Include explanations and brief teaching sections for each of the major religions - Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other lesser known religions - alongside evolution's take on the world, giving each equal amounts of time. This solution a) solves for discrimination against other religions by giving each religion equal amounts of time being taught within the classroom, b) includes more religions than just one, increasing the probability that we're spending time on a belief that at least someone within the class believes, ensuring that everyone's beliefs can be discussed, and c) doesn't disclude more secular opinions such as evolution from the discussion, allowing for the full spectrum of beliefs and options to be discussed. Solution Two: Create an optional elective class that teaches the belief systems of various world religions that is separate from the science classroom. This solution a) solves for discrimination against religions by teaching about each religion rather than just one, b) allows for more critical thought and discussion of religions, as the teaching of different creation stories is no longer competing for time against actual science portions of the science class; this means that students are able to go further in depth with their religion and the religions of others, enhancing their ability to reflect on their own views and refine them, c) frees up time within the curriculum of science classes for further exploration of various scientific concepts and theories, which enhances their education in this field, and d) doesn't change how evolution is currently being taught in the classrooms, since it's no longer potentially competing for attention against the creation stories of other religions.----- To conclude, the rhetoric of not allowing for the discussion of the Christian creation story on the basis of discrimination doesn't make much sense, and there are safe and more advantageous solutions to allow for it's discussion that are better than the status quo.
