Evolution and ideology in schools

It’s kind of sad that in this day and age, some schools and teachers continue to brush off evolution and say things like “It’s just a theory”. In my high school (which is in California and is by no means a Conservative high school), the anthropology teacher said this very thing and said things like “You can believe whatever you want, I am just teaching you this THEORY, and it is just that, a theory.” These kind of teachers need to be re-educated on what a scientific theory is because they think of it like a hypothesis. It’s this kind of education that allows 40% of the US to not believe in evolution. Sorry that I am pretty much off topic, but I had to let it out somewhere…
