He teaches what's in the textbooks, which mentions both...and yes, he teaches in
public school. The books state that "some people believe..." And it is not
child abuse.

As in "some people believe in evolution and others believe in creationism"?

I believe that if there is a god, he wouldn't want us to be stupid. A god that
could create our world by tossing out a "big bang" would be very impressive.
The god described in Genesis is a cute metaphor for children and very simple
people. Not that I don't like Genesis - Its by far my favorite piece of
literature - but to teach it as literal truth to anyone older than 6 years is
abuse.

You might be right. However, when people suggest that we have managed to
evolve over a period of 600,000 years, then I just laugh.

200,000 years ago is the current guess. That's when a couple hundred women
walked out of sub-Saharan Africa to populate the world.
