It wasn't taught in any of the physics classes I took in the US circa 1990. As a matter of fact, I hadn't heard about it (by name) until watching a Jim Al Khalili documentary from the BBC. I suspect that proper treatment of the subject would have offended those in the US that still believe in the firmament of heaven.
(I'm only partly joking. My high school biology class had a chapter on evolution. The teacher said "I have to teach this but I won't be testing you on it. Read the chapter and let yourselves out when the bell rings." He then left the room.)
