It's a bit sad that the opposition against teaching science in America is so strong. Understanding of biology is needed to successfully manage the planet we live on. The theory of evolution helps us understand life and that includes ourselves as human beings. It has implications far greater than just biology - it touches philosophy, social sciences, etc etc.
Religion is being threatened by logic, so it makes sense that anti-logic ideas will become more important along with methods like indoctrination and pseudo-sciences that they hope can pass for logic, like what some of the creationists are doing .. It's just sad to see that they actually gain such a strong foothold overseas.
I'm glad I'm not an american .. I would be frustrated.
