Break from Continuing Education -- Teaching of Evolution in the US

As I continue my break from continuing education to explore things that interest me, I can across this map of which states teach evolution and how well they do teach it.  I was actually surprised that Utah was satisfactory while Illinois was an embarrassment.  Very scary if for the future of our scientists.

On a side note, most of our presidential elections are chosen by who wins 2 out of these three states (Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida).  And the sad thing is that Ohio and Florida do a terrible job on the teaching of evolution which does bode well for the future of our country.
