evolutionary hypothesis. If you teach kids that they are descended from animals, then you should expect them to act like animals.

So by your logic, before people were introduced to Evolution, say about 150+ years ago, they must have acted in a much more ethical manner. Bzzzzt. Sorry, no.

There is no connection whatsoever between the teaching of evolution and a worsening of behaviour, either in logic or in fact. That's just more of the creationist habit of trying to tie non-theistic teachings to moral degeneration. It is (to use a non-scientific term) complete crap.
