In the SE US it's also common to find a lot of (non-Catholic [0]) Christian schools where this is prominent as well. I haven't, in recent years, spent enough time in any other US regions to know if they're similarly common elsewhere. It seems like a new one pops up every year or two in this county.
[0] I make this distinction because, IME, Catholic schools are generally better about separating science and religion courses. There are still more fundamentalist Catholics, but the Church (and thus most of the schools) has pulled away from that over the years.
But American religious/political activist groups often work to expiry their views overseas as well and implement similar policies -- there's been some attention to that on anti-gay policies, but pro-creationism features some of the same tactics.
