Schoolbooks due suffer from a variety of errors. This however is not
because Darwinian Evolution is wrong, but rather because the people writing

For the same reason the the theory of gravity is, and the standard model

Kids are generally not good scientists, and can only see things in black

bad data, and be able to create new hypotheses, and test them on their own.
