The postmodernist argument that all truths are partial (and a function
of one's perspective) led to the related argument that there are many
legitimate ways to understand or represent an event. This both
encouraged a more egalitarian discourse and made it possible for the
voices of the previously disenfranchised to be heard. But it's also
been exploited by those who want to make the case for offensive or
debunked theories, or who want to equate things that cannot be
equated. Creationists, for instance, called for teaching "intelligent
design" alongside evolution in schools. "Teach both," some argued.
Others said, "Teach the controversy."
