Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education. Parents, teachers, and principals, in private setting, should be the people deciding how the origins of life be presented to the children.

Better solution. You, the Islamists, the sexual harassment industry, and the rest of your easily offended brethren learn to deal with it. There is no right not to be offended, and privatizing public institutions simply because of a few soreheads makes no sense at all.

There is no right not to be offended

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We have the right to free speech, free press, free assembly, and free exercise of religion. We also have a right not to be proselytized and indoctrinated by the government.

When government violates the above rights ( and all government schools do) it is our DUTY to be "offended".

The following is from the Declaration of Independence. Please notice the word "duty".

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their DUTY, to throw off such Government,,,,,,"
"

Right Wing Professor, it is abusive for government to force our children into non-neutral government indoctrination centers. It is abusive for government to forbid free speech, free press, free exercise of their religion, and free assembly. It is abusive to subject children to a curriculum that can never be religiously neutral in content or consequences. Evolution is merely one example among hundreds.

Right Wing Professor,

It is difficult to have a conversation with someone who responds with personal insult. So far, you have accused me of being a chiropractor, said that I have a bee in my bonnet, inferred that I am lying when I say that I support evolution, and now you call me an "Islamist", easily offended, and supporter of the sexual harassment industry.
