      As a kid who went to school in a mildly rural school in Tennessee, I can confirm that our teachers said out loud they did not believe in evolution but “it’s on the curriculum so I have to teach it”

        my honors bio teacher wouldn’t even teach it (also in tn.) we spent ~2m on her acknowledging the chapter in our text book and she swiftly moved right on to another chapter.
