Again I need to correct you "evolution" is not a subject that is mandatory, science is the subject that is mandated and taught.

"Evolution" is a small part of the biological science area. Depending on your school it is probably one or two weeks that it would be discussed.

The wider issue for fundementalists like yourself that even within religions evolution has largely been resolved. We discussed the jewish but even the catholic church which is often thought of as slow acting has resolved the issue.

This isn't saying your concerns and that of your speaker that science on the issue isn't being taught well is not a concern .. I think it is but I also think we should teach QM to students.

I just don't see how you go from there to we shouldn't teach evolution which seems something more to do with your particular religion than religions in general.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
