These scientists are prime examples of why this subject needs to be taught early. They are not even referring to the theory with proper language. Evolution is a misnomer, or a incorrect name used in place of a correct one. The theory is not Evolution. The theory is Natural Selection. The term Evolution is used in many sciences that are not even biological in nature. Darwin never coined the term, and frankly they should be correcting the misconception. Especially since Evolution is often confused with direction or intent.
As for the subject it is absolutely essential for young children to be familiarized with the theory. Not only is it the corner stone of many sciences, such as Biology, Immunology, Sanitation, Agriculture, Paleontology, Ecology, and Psychology. The laws governing natural selection can be applied to other scientific fields, and even fields such as History. The theory is nothing less then a entirely different perspective upon life. Denying it to a child is like depriving them of greater opportunities.
You might as well hold them down, and break one of their legs if your that intent on crippling them. To be afraid of a scientific theory is really to be afraid of opposition. That isn't about courage that is about cowardice. There is really no excuse to deprive children of what amounts to a Rosetta stone for natural science. The theory is rather simple, and its no more contradictory in the sense of religion then Uniformitarianism. How many educators aren't teaching that to kids in elementary schools.
