It’s worth remembering that this is not the type of textbook used in American public schools and most American students do not attend weird private religious schools. I was also raised as a Catholic and learning about science (including evolution through natural selection, of course) was always encouraged. Evangelicals are nuts.
America is fucking weird… you guys build the first atomic bomb and brought a man to the moon and then something like THAT appears.
Regarding religion, well, I had a catholic upbringing and nobody, really nobody would have teached some horseshit like that.

American Evangelical Christianity is what most of Lemmy users seem to really hate. They know nothing about Orthodox or other kinds of Christianity.
