As far as I can tell, what really happens in biology class is that the students come face to face with the cruelty of nature, and they are unable to reconcile that with what they had been taught in Sunday school.
Students begin to study biology at an age when they naturally begin to question what they've been told. Any reality-based subject would probably have the same effect.
