Because "dumb-down" is their agenda.
"Look mommy, today, I learned all about how the earth is only 6,000 years old in science class. And tomorrow, we're going to learn all about Jonah and the whale in history class."
Ok, point taken.. ID hmm not so much..
Children need to be taught science of course, but learning about the bible and religion in general is actually good because it educates them about our past and how the mind works. I didn't start learning about our religious history until my late high school years. Sure I had RE in primary but not science.. heh, I still remember my teachers getting annoyed with me for yelling out in protest at every religious teaching that didn't make sense.
