Not only in America, teaching evolution is under attack. Indeed, future Turkish children will likely not learn about evolution in school, as soL international reports:
İsmet Yılmaz, the Minister of National Education in Turkey on Friday announced the new curriculum draft for school. After the draft is finalized, textbooks will be published based on the new draft to be used starting from 2017-2018 academic year.
The new curriculum draft brings some radical changes:
[...] Evolution Theory is excluded from Biology courses. The related unit named "The Origins of Life and the Evolution" is replaced with "Living Beings and Environment".
This is actually not the first strike against evolution in Turkey:
In 2013, the government had made a regulation, which let the Intelligent Design model to be included in the curriculum besides the Evolution Theory.

Or if you want to piss off some (only some) of the religious fanatics tell the kids that if God created the earth then shitting on his environment is the same as shitting on his face so scientifically studying the problem will result in less shit on Gods face than making environmental decisions based on politics.
That's my preferred interpretation. It's right there in the supposed instruction manual, right up front where you can't miss it. Genesis 1:26–28 MSG:
God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God’s nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
“Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”
Humans are god-like, so it's up to humans to figure out how to be stewards of this planet until the king returns in the 3rd part of the trilogy during a smashing scene with some lovely acting.

Revelation 11:18 NIV
The earth is naturally self destroying. The climate has always been changing. The destruction of the earth is not caused by man. Climate change is not caused by man. Etc.
Oh, wait. Maybe that's not what it means by "destroying those who destroy the earth".
