Got this in an email from a friend visiting the States at the moment:
Excerpt from today's Fox News (italics mine):
"Coming up: Could the theory of evolution soon be wiped from our textbooks?"
Is America going mad, or is it just Fox?
I report. You decide.

Having said that, evolution belongs in a science classroom and creation myths in the humanities section.
