Frisby tries to explain that evolution takes millions of years, but
Willett isn't listening. "I feel a tail growing!" he calls to his
friends, drawing laughter.

Unruffled, Frisby puts up a transparency tracing the evolution of the
whale, from its ancient origins as a hoofed land animal through two
lumbering transitional species and finally into the sea. He's about to
start on the fossil evidence when sophomore Jeff Paul interrupts: "How
are you 100% sure that those bones belong to those animals? It could
just be some deformed raccoon." [...]

It could be that this demonstrates an organized attempt to belittle and
discredit the subject material, or it could simply be typical of the
disruptive behavior seen in all the classrooms in this school.
