Nel Timm's theory that the Columbine shootings were caused by the two teenagers being taught the teachings of Darwin are absurd. The shootings were the result of many different factors such as violent video games and hurt feelings and esteem.

Natural selection should be taught to students. Without it, how would students be able to understand the process of evolution, genetics and other fundamental aspects of biology, psychology and botany?
