And this is a school run by evil Pearson who controls all the textbooks, so that’s a bit of a comfort even as America’s educational standards slip down the tubes.

Not standard in the U.S. at all.
Must be a local or cultural thing then. Because it very much was standard everywhere I’ve been to school in the US, so much so that I actually notice when there isn’t a disclaimer. Bet we could draw an interesting map here that roughly mirrors the political and/ or religious distribution throughout the states.
May I ask which state, or at least which region, you’re talking about?
I mostly went to school in Colorado and California, but I think more important is I pretty much always went to school in conservatively rural towns of fairly liberal areas where the lines between politics or religion get kinda blurred with little pockets of extremism. Logically, those areas would probably have enough people squawking about science to warrant a message like this, but not enough to influence the broadly standardized curriculum.
I am in Indiana and it is technically an Indiana public school because the teachers are accredited here, but it is actually a national thing owned by Pearson. Basically an online charter school. But maybe they just send that out in Indiana?
