It's quite usual to hear kids as young as nine denouncing Darwin here in the Middle East, saying there is no way we could have 'come from animals', obviously parroting what they've been trained to say. Not long ago I met a senior (British) teacher on the stairs, white-faced at having found a book on Darwin in the school library, who told me of her good fortune in having removed it before anyone saw it. There is a long, long way to go.
