Given that law theory, such as Common Law theory is more relevant to people's everyday lives, than an theory or abstraction like "evolution is", something which can't be seen with the naked eye, existing only in the confines of the mathematical approximations or abstractions which it was invented from, it seems that many people have disproportionate, emotional reason or investment in the theory, generally for some silly political or pop cultural reason or noting, rather than anything inherent in the theory itself to begin with, even in comparison to other theories within the confines of Bacon's scientific methodology, such as gravity or quantum physics.
In reality, the law of one's state affects their lives directly more than abstractions or speculations about mankind's ancestral past, yet it seems most Americans are ignorant of it, such as its history, development, philosophy, and the ways in which it actually functions and sustains people's rights and freedoms to begin with, as opposed to childish or inaccurate depictions on police TV shows and dramas.
I'd argue there would be much more pragmatic sense in teaching people the their of their Common Law system, than comparatively childish whims, abstractions, and speculations like "evolution", which are generally based more on silly pop cultural, film, or television notions than anything in the real world anyway outside of one's wild little imagination and quasi-religious obsessions with it to such a disproportionate degree (even when it seems it would better favor their non-existance, than their existance, pretenses to "equality", or having anything resembling an "equal" chance of living or dying) to begin with, however ironically - much as to the average "internet atheist", science would, in practice be the better off without their anti-intellectualism, and feral sense of beliefs, which were everyone worthless and savager enough to subscribe themselves to, there would be no "science", nor any culture to begin with, it having far more reasons for their extinction than their subsistence, and "caring" not for them or their pious appeals to it, like some omnipotent being, entity, or abstraction.
