I think it's a terrible shame that it's even progressed to that point; they should already be doing that.

The problem is that a good science teacher should be teaching science. Since the theory of evolution is the best known theory that explains the observed physical evidence, it's entirely appropriate. I have no problem with a science teacher pointing out gaps in the fossil record and so forth, as long as they emphasize that there's really no competing theory at this time.
