Even the biology teachers dont always teach it. In Oklahoma, 33 percent of high school biology teachers place little or no emphasis on evolution. In Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, 23 percent of high school biology teachers have the same view (Weld and McNew 1999).

1. I have trouble believing the stats given, they're way too far fetched and they were never substantiated.
2. Just because it is not taught does not mean it was the teacher's idea. Teachers have to use the cirriculum given them by their district board, and non-scientists and parents sit on those boards and vote for what the cirriculum is going to be.
Conclusion: Even if those stats are true, they prove nothing outside of the fact that idiots run school districts, which we already know.
