Well... in the Q&A section Jerry quotes PZ Myers: "You don't teach them evolution, you teach them rational and critical thinking". I guess he means that you don't want to shovel facts down their throats, you want them to choose the facts which are already there based on their own reasoning. Incidentally, this is why I think science and philosophy in its basics should be taught even from early school years.
