Las Vegas. It wasn't taught in my schools (I took accelerated classes in biology, chemistry, physical science, etc). If I really looked hard in some of the books, there would be about a page or two out of the entire science text book talking about the theory of evolution and natural selection. Everyone that I've talked to out here has never been taught it. I'm sure many areas in the bible belt don't teach it, because it would enrage people. I'm not talking about college, but schooling before that. Maybe they're including it moreso now, and I don't realize it, but I've talked to people in a few different states, and they were never taught it either, when in school.
Then you should make sure you're voting in the elections for your local school board.
I was taught evolution in high school (California, 1984), my cousins in Texas were, albeit with a foreshortened syllabus and more "it's just a theory" bullshit (1977-1982), my nephew in Ohio (2005). Be it noted that Texas is in the Bible belt.
