You're working on the presumption that the schools are actually teaching evolution correctly and that the kids are really learning it. If what I've seen of the results of education in our society today holds true, they aren't picking up evolution properly to begin with. Just look at the pathetic state of knowledge in Math, English, writing, spelling, history, and geograpy. I highly doubt they're doing much better in science.

I did answer that one already I see. My mistake. Sorry if I seem to be harping on you. Sometimes I don't pay as much attention to the namse on the posts I'm responding to as I should. :)

When I was in high school, we had to do one year of science. We had a choice between Biology, Physics, or PhysChem (a mix of physics and chemistry). Most kids chose one of the latter two, especially the girls. The Biology teacher was a major sexist and pervert, and he was hell on the female students. For example, he would let cheerleaders roll dice for their grades, as long as they wore their cheerleading outfit. Less attractive girls had to be absolutely perfect with their work (and were severely harrassed in class), while the more attractive girls got a lot of "gimmies".

I took PhysChem. I wanted nothing to do with that Biology teacher. The theory of evolution never even came up in high school unless you took Biology. Even then, the Biology teacher spent more time on anatomy than evolution. The man was a pig.
