Me too Max. The rest of the modern world (especially the U.K.) are waaay
ahead of the U.S. in this area. My first real exposure to evolution was in
college,
where a friend loaned me a copy of Gould's Ever Since Darwin, after which
I devoured all of Gould's published works.
This willful failure of public education sets the stage for the eventual
Iranification
of the U.S. under fundamentalist christianity, a process some have argued
that has already displayed a menacing progress. {8-[ spike
