Educators haven't evolved...

Evolution teaching poor in U.S. high schools - Science Fair: Science and Space News - USATODAY.com: "Evolution, the inheritance of changed characteristics across generations, is the fundamental unifying concept underlying biology, as a National Research Council science education standards released in 1996 noted. That report said, '... 'biological evolution' cannot be eliminated from the life science standards.'

But only 28% of the 926 teachers surveyed, 'unabashedly introduce evidence that evolution has occurred and craft lesson plans so that evolution is a theme that unifies disparate topics in biology,' according to the Science report by Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer of Penn State. Most biology teachers belong to the 'cautious 60%,' who are 'neither strong advocates for evolutionary biology nor explicit endorsers of nonscientific alternatives,' the study says. As mentioned, 13% of respondents advocated biblical creationism or 'intelligent design' creationism in biology class."
