It's only a debate in the US, where obscurantism and magical thinking are rife. Most other developed countries have moved on and done a pretty thorough job of purging religious nonsense out of the curriculums, or at least contain the nonsense to keep it out of young minds who deserve better.

Yes, so far it's a debate only in the US, but there's a danger that the lunatics currently in charge of the US will try to push it back on us.
That genie is out of the bottle though.
The problem is that all the bullshit done on that stupid country is seen in the other countries and eventually all these crazy ideas are imported. Things that were completely insane to even be discussed are on the mouths of some people now like something to even be discussed. It's crazy.
