This is because some textbook publishers, rather that produce seperate versions
of textbooks for each state which may have different laws, choose to take
the easy way out and include NEITHER evolution OR creation, thus depriving
students of any explanation at all.  I suppose some creationist see this as
a victory, as parents can then teach their kids about this at home, and the
kids then are not subjected to conflicting or confusing information at
school.
