> no one pushed evolution Could you clarify - does this mean that you were or weren't taught evolution?

  I was not taught creationism. Nor was I told to read Ayn Rand. Nor was I taught to sympathize with the War of Northern Aggression.

    > Education was actually valued. > I was not taught evolution. ... Could I ask how you reconcile these two statements? To give you some idea of where I'm coming from, I'm British, where we tend to feel quite proud of Darwin (1). As far as I can tell, evolution is a fact of the universe, and the foundational idea in many of the biological sciences. The idea someone could come out of education (and feel they've been well-educated) without a grounding in evolution makes me confused.

      > ... Could I ask how you reconcile these two statements? Yes, that's what happens when I post before having any coffee. Fixed.
