I've seen quotes in the MSM that said the theory of evolution is as well established as the "theory of gravity". It's the LAW of gravity, not the theory. There is a big difference in science between theory and law.

Why can't science classes spend a little time on that?

I hear you. (The difference obviously missed you.)

"The attractive force between two bodies is proportional to their masses and inversly proportional to the square of the distance between them" - That's the LAW of gravity.

Why? - That's the THEORY of gravity. And there's a Nobel Prize in it for you if you can come up with a better explanation than the current one.

Please continue my education. The law of evolution would be.....?

Actually, gravity is not understood at all!
