Not teaching macroevolution? Maybe. But then, it is one of the most obvious extrapolations from the above two. Science has never taught to not question macroevolution. It is the basis of science to question everything. Peer reviews are the very foundation of the scientific academic world.

Really? You can truly tell me it's fact? Okay. Go back about 50 million years and tell me what happens when you get back. Oh wait, you can't. No one REALLY knows what happened. NO ONE. NO ONE recorded what happened then, and even if they did, you have no way of proving if it was true or false. History is only made up of what has been recorded or found along the way of us moving up the ladder to the top of the chain, Ruti.
Fact is what you want it to be. Fact CAN be manipulated. I don't care HOW many scientist accepted it, let them try to argue that.

High school. Maybe even Middle/Jr. High School. You get your regular classes. Which are majors, meaning you need them for the main credits to graduate.

By the way, I completely do not believe that there's a school system out there that requires the student to take Science all the way to graduation. And the actual concept of Evolution as it has become today is advanced enough that it shouldn't be taught until at least Grade 11. And if the school fails to recognize this in their curriculum, that is a failing of the staff. Fail rates would be too high.

Wow. Are you joking? I needed Science to graduate. Everyone in my school district needs science to graduate. Don't argue with me about things I KNOW about and have BEEN through because that just makes you sound really ignorant. I've been here, and I've needed to pass at least two classes of Science to get my credits.
