Yes, I wish I was taught the truth in school.

Except that it's not - and it's highly unlikely that there is even a deity.

How about teaching both viewpoints? Or teaching evolution and atleast mentioning the ideas of creationism?

We can see evolution at work and how genetics change with time and diversity, but what we can't see is God's invisible hand guiding it. There is no proof for it. Absolutely nothing. I'm sorry, but that doesn't belong in any science class. It goes contrary to the entire discipline.
