The first time I was taught evolution in school was in 8th grade science class, which was basically a small introduction to biology before moving onto the big, scary high school. It was then again taught in my AP Biology class and discussed in many other of my science classes throughout the years. I didn't think anything of this, as I went to a large, public high school.

But then I suddenly thought about the students who did not attend the same type of school that I did. Are they deprived of the education about evolution because of teachers beliefs? The answer is most likely not because evolution is part of the standard biology curriculum, but the curriculum does not specify how long of a time frame it must be taught, or how far in depth it must go.
