At Mormon Insights, a post on the do’s and don’ts of teaching evolution to college students.

The author:

I am a happy and content Latter-day Saint who teaches evolution at a non-LDS university. In fact, I have taught evolution in various forums and institutions for 30 years.

His conclusion:

A main point to this essay is that all students need to learn about the central principle of life science: Darwin’s evolution. Religious students are intelligent, and they need NO special treatment at all. Evolution is neutral to theology, even though some argue that it is not. Evolution (in my opinion) is the greatest of all scientific principles.

It is a balanced and reasonable post, well worth the read.
