Now, the interesting question for me is, why does this
essentially only happen in the United States? The US
is the most religious industrial nation, so I have to
ask - do Christian Third World nations even teach
about evolutionary theory? Do they have debates over
whether it is taught? Why _just_ here? I honestly
have no idea, and would be very curious as to anyone
else's thoughts on the subject.
Sadly, it isn't just here in the US. A few years ago this tendency
reared its head in the UK.
Here's one link as an example, where creationism was (is?) actually
taught with evolution:

I think I also saw last year an article about how it's slowly becoming
an issue in Europe.
Here's one example of that (and not even the one I was thinking of):

Try googling "creationism schools Europe" for many more.
