Teach the Controversy

"Teach the Controversy" is the name of a Discovery Institute campaign to promote a variant of traditional creationism, intelligent design, while attempting to discredit evolution in United States public high school science courses.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} The central claim the Discovery Institute makes with 'Teach the Controversy' is that fairness and equal time requires educating students with a 'critical analysis of evolution'^[7] where "the full range of scientific views",^[8] evolution's "unresolved issues", and the "scientific weaknesses of evolutionary theory"^[9] will be presented and evaluated alongside intelligent design concepts like irreducible complexity^[10] presented as a scientific argument against evolution through oblique references to books by design proponents listed in the bibliography of the Institute-proposed "Critical Analysis of Evolution" lesson plans.
