It is probably up to the teacher. I did go to public school for grades 11 and 12, and they didn't teach us about evolution in great detail either. Most of what I learned regarding evolution was in university.
The Catholic church does have things it needs to atone for, but I do think it gets a bad rap. Anti-Catholicism is probably one of the oldest and the most tolerated form of biggotry in the English speaking world. Again, I'm not saying it is not without it's faults, but no culture or religon is, yet we protect most from the kind of judgement the Catholic church gets. At the very least, we save others from open displays of hate.
For the record, I am not a practicing Catholic any more, so I have nothing invested in protecting the church.
BTW, where did you immigrate from. You don't have to say if you're not comfortable with it, I'm just curious. My family are immigrants too. I was the 1st born in Canada.
