Evolution is a theory

A Fox News article reports that the Florida Board of Ed. is going to vote on whether or not to put the phrase "scientific theory of" in front of the word "evolution" when teaching the theory in schools. This has been a debate between Evolutionists and Creationists for years, and has stayed on the side of the Evolutionists for a long time.
Since Evolution is, in fact, only a theory that explains the existence of humans it should be clearly made known to students that it is just one theory. I also believe that since so many people are accepting of the Creation theory, it should also be taught in schools as an alternative. I plan on sending my kids to public schools, and I would rather my kids, at least, have the opportunity to learn about the other popular theory.
Hopefully the Board will vote to allow the phrase to be mandated so that the students will know that it is just a theory, and not scientific law.
