Problems with U.S. science education regarding evolution?

I'm not there, we have less of a problem here (but still some).The problem is two-fold:
1) there is an aggressive anti-evolution, anti-science -- anti-reason campaign. It is not enough to just teach a smattering of evolutionary biology as if it is being imprinted on a blank slate of a mind. There needs to be a recognition of the need to start by countering the misinformation before trying to impart real information.2) There is very little taught of a moderately complex topic.This is partly because of the political pressure, partly due to lack of knowledge and time.

I couldn't find any numbers at all.. I am aware of groups close to Vancouver and in Alberta that are literalist. However, I go by what my kids have been taught which is a reasonable amount on evolution in their science or biology classes with no fuss at all.In addition, we have one political party who had someone who was accussed in the press of being a young earther. It was treated as very embarassing and denied. It is not going to win a lot of votes is the impression I got from that.On the whole we are about half as religious as the US and out here less than that.
