> 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.
