I remember really liking those grades and those were the first real science classes I had. Those classes actually didn't handle biology really at all, just chemistry and physics really.
I figured you wouldn't and you shouldn't, but as someone who wouldn't lose anything from it, I think it would be funny.

Look at this statistic:

It would seem that these creationists are deliberately going into science-teaching to spread their word (rot the system from the inside out, say).

Let the rest of them compete with me. I'm not worried about those fools.
Hmmm, I have never heard about anything like this in my country. Everyone I know, who is taking biology class, gets normal evolution theory. We were thought in history about creationism but only briefly at the beginning of the course. The most popular theories of origin were discussed and that's the only time we had creationism brought up in school. Of course I have heard and read about it elsewhere and strongly disagree and, as bad as it may sound, I feel sorry for the students who are taught creationism instead of evolution.
Just my 0.02$

Fortunately for other countries in the modern world they don't appear to have these movements.

Brian Benson, an eighth-grade student who won first place in the Life Science/Biology category for his project “Creation Wins!!!,” says he disproved part of the theory of evolution. Using a rolled-up paper towel suspended between two glasses of water with Epsom Salts, the paper towel formed stalactites. He states that the theory that they take millions of years to develop is incorrect. “Scientists say it takes millions of years to form stalactites,” Benson said. “However, in only a couple of hours, I have formed stalactites just by using paper towel and Epsom Salts.”
I just shed a tear for our future.

How could I ever have believed in dinosaurs?
