<<<Well, that resolves that issue. AP Biology is certainly taught in high schools. Teaches the theory of evolution. So DK has been told and shown. Time for him to admit he was wrong and move on to another topic we can show him up on.>>>
Well, I'd have said, "is taught in at least some high schools, public or private," because "taught in high schools" seems to me to imply that it's standard practice in public high schools, these days.
You did find a couple of textbooks, used in some schools, that discuss Darwin and evolutionary biology.
I wonder how many high schools now do teach evolutionary biology? (Public ones, I mean; I know 'elite' private schools where (educated) parents value a good background in science for their children are not teaching creationism.) Do you know? In percentage terms, I suspect it is quite small, don't you? And getting smaller all the time?
Are you a creationist, Christopher? I mean to ask, I guess, whether you are in sympathy with the movement that is fighting to eliminate the teaching of evolutionary biology in science classes in public schools, or to introduce creationism as a respectable scientific theory? I thought that wasn't the case.
I can't help being disturbed by "and move on to another topic we can show him up on." |
