And do you actually believe that they teach "problems with the heliocentric theory" in public schools?

Are you kidding me? They teach that the earth goes around the sun, rather than the sun going around the earth, the order of the planets, and move on to the next topic.

If not, should the state legislatures step in?

I have already posted on what I think the legislature should do, if anything.

And why doesn't that bother people as much as schools teaching that the world's species descended from common ancestors over geological ages, showing how the species are interrelated, and moving on to the next topic?
