This will boil over, and soon. I remember, 36 or so years ago, being taught about dinosaurs and cavemen and such in the second grade. I was also being taught about Adam and Eve, and the Garden of Eden, in Sunday School. (No, I wasn't always a Godless heathen. My mother provided me with a religious and spiritual upbringing.) I further remember asking, in both educational venues, if Adam and Eve were cavemen. Y'know, boys and girls, after all these years, poor old Bill still hasn't gotten an acceptable answer to that question. Be that as it may, little 6 year old Bill O'Rights was smart enough then to know that something wasn't adding up. But, I was taught what was appropriate. Evolution in the public school classroom. Creationism in the church. That is as it should be. It infuriates me that any more than two sentences are devoted to creationism, in a public school textbook.
