Well in history class we covered not just Greek and Pagan Mythology but Christian and Islam beliefs as well, and in my earth science class on the subject of the formation of the earth/universe the teacher gave a little verbal disclaimer saying she wasn't trying to contradict anyone's religious beliefs she is just stating the facts as science knows them and 7 days to humans maybe not be 7 days to God etc.
Also I would bet my Participation in Government class is debating this subject right now since its getting so big in the media. Back when I was there it was mainly the War in Afghanistan that was the subject of debate.
