The only thing I hear criticized is the ToE.

When genetics is even mentioned, most people’s eyes just glaze over.

True, they never mention genetics by name, but the science they're criticizing because it was wrongly used/abused by NAZIs had ENTIRELY to do with genetics. Darwin's theory of evolution says nothing about recessive genes or hereditary diseases. Reading through "the Origin of Species" wouldn't give you any information about why a baby has blue eyes if both her parents have brown eyes, for example. I think the average person doesn't understand much about genetics. It's stuff like that why OJ Simpson got away with murder when they tried to explain DNA evidence to the jury and show how the DNA results proved a 99.99% likelihood that it was OJ's blood.

One freeper claimed creationists embrace "genetics", then cited an example that had nothing to do with with genetics, either (selective plant and animal breeding to produce better results, which has existed for thousands of years before anyone knew what genes were.) As I noted, it would be akin to blaming the periodic table for people using dynamite.
