Must be a local or cultural thing then. Because it very much was standard everywhere I’ve been to school in the US, so much so that I actually notice when there isn’t a disclaimer. Bet we could draw an interesting map here that roughly mirrors the political and/ or religious distribution throughout the states.
Which is sadly something you kinda have to do a lot of in the world of education if you want to keep a position of being able to teach. Ironically, it probably wouldn’t be a real issue if the US had a more robust education system and understood the nuance of this stuff better
Looks like a pretty bog-standard notice whenever evolution gets taught, at least in all my classes. Really shouldn’t have anything to do with religion vs atheism.
I mostly went to school in Colorado and California, but I think more important is I pretty much always went to school in conservatively rural towns of fairly liberal areas where the lines between politics or religion get kinda blurred with little pockets of extremism. Logically, those areas would probably have enough people squawking about science to warrant a message like this, but not enough to influence the broadly standardized curriculum.
