US schools teaching religious beliefs in science
You got that right. Formal education is mostly nonsense. Check out what John Taylor Gatto has to say on the subject.

As far as evolution is concerned. the objections raised to it are valid within the specific context of the philosophy of science. No matter how "sensible" it appears to be, you can't say that it's a "fact" without proof. When educators cross that line (encouraged by well-meaning but misguided academics) they end up teaching the opposite of science-- belief based upon the dictates of authority.

Depends. If they're denying them education for a reason, then sure go 'head.
I mean, in all honesty. I could learn what I learned in school, on the internet, instead of going to school for 11 years now. And after sixth grade, its all, repition, and detail everything.
I mean seriously, when are you going to use who Rapahael the painter was, especially when you're not going into an arts field, or even a historical field. Its useless to me, especially learning about the Native Americans, every single year.
