"There Is No Controversy..."

In an interview with Owen Bennett Jones (BBC News), Richard Dawkins responded to a question about Darwin and evolutionary theory being contraversial. He made the following comment.
He [Darwin] is controversial amongst people who don't know anything, but if you talk to people who are actually educated, he's not really controversial. There's no controversy about the fact we are cousins of monkeys, cousins of cows, cousins of aardvarks. That's completely non-controversial among anyone who knows anything about science.
This is what we have come to expect from Dawkins--from most evolutionists in fact. Their faith allows no room for alternative explanations. And they're certainly not allowing any "outside influences" to enter their schools (that's why only the people who attend government schools are considered "educated" in Dawkin's view).

After all, why teach kids anything but the truth? Right?
