Maybe because Christians want to teach it in public schools as history.

And why don't you go and do the Christian stuff, like give all your money and possessions to the poor, and live in the streets or nature as God provides for all your needs like he does for birds? Let me guess: you don't have enough faith in Jesus.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
