That would infuriate me... Seriously I wish a teacher tried to pull that shit on me here in New Zealand but alas... aside from being long out of school, religion was never taught in the schools I went to. In fact I didn't even know Creationism was taught in schools at all (I mean in recent times) till a few years ago. Surprised the hell out of me for it's absurdity.

Social democracies generally have an easier time keeping this kind of shit out of the loop than liberal democracies.
