That is terrible. To me, biology without evolution is like math without the plus and minus signs.
Yeah, well, when subjected to school-sanctioned bullying for no apparent reason that ends up giving you what appears, by all accounts, to be PTSD (my own cursory diagnosis, but one which some of my psych teachers have deemed plausible), having to teach yourself an important part of biology like Frederick Douglass teaching himself to read is a relatively minor grievance. That said, it's a damn shame that any teachers refuse to allow their students to learn something so vital to understanding a subject like biology.
