I like to harp on Indiana, but...

...it's one of five states where human evolution is mentioned directly in the state curriculum for school. I want to be proud that Hoosiers didn't manage to mess this up, but I'm too overwhelmed by the fact that thirty-two states don't mention human evolution in their curriculum at all. How can the US expect to produce competent biologists and doctors when children aren't learning the most fundamental and important biological principle?

It's even more depressing when I think about what my evolution education was like. Pretty much one or two days out of a whole year of AP Biology. I don't remember discussing it at all in freshman biology, which is the class everyone is required to take. That's enough to make us green? No wonder Americans don't accept evolution.
