Are you saying that atomic theory is not discussed in chemistry classes and that relativity theory is not addressed in physics classes? Are you saying that Elementary and Middle School students are being taught atomic theory and relativity? These areas are only briefly touched upon in High School (general coverage only). But the TOE is extensively taught in Middle and High School as the only mechanism in which life arose on Earth. That, plus the belief that modern human started off as a monkey, and then evolved into what we are today (which if nature decided that modern man was superior to the monkey, then why are there still monkeys?). It is in college that these ideas are extensively taught (as they should be).

I am not. I do not understand the relevance of your question.
But the TOE is extensively taught in Middle and High School as the only mechanism in which life arose on Earth.
Please provide evidence to support your claim that the ToE is taught "extensively", at both the middle and high school level. Please also explain how this relates to your previous claim that evolution is the "only theory" taught in public schools when you have acknowledged that relativity and atomic theories are taught, even if only 'touched upon'.
That, plus the belief that modern human started off as a monkey, and then evolved into what we are today (which if nature decided that modern man was superior to the monkey, then why are there still monkeys?).
Your parenthetical question shows that you are wholly unaware of basic concepts in the theory of evolution, which calls into question your qualifications to speak on the subject. You have suggested that 'nature decided' that humans are 'superior' to monkeys, but nothing in biology suggests any such thing, as superiority is a relative concept requiring qualifiers to have meaning.

The theory of evolution does not state that humans "started off as a monkey". The evidence shows that humans share a common ancestor with apes, dating back about 8 million years ago.
Hope that helps.

...which if nature decided that modern man was superior to the monkey, then why are there still monkeys?And you claim to have a college education.
You should demand a refund, such was its evident poverty.

If this is representative of your understanding of evolutionary theory, then your criticism is necessarily based on ignorance.
