Thanks...any proposed solution?

I think it would be preferable to simply omit any discussions of origins from science classes. At the end of the day, what happens in oil fields, auto manufacaturing plants, NASA, and hospitals doesn't depend upon what one believes regarding origins. We can find oil, do engineering, go into orbit and perform surgery regardless. This is where high school science needs to direct and to emphasize. When you get to college and venture into philosophy of science, ie, the presuppositions behind a system, then, it would seem to me that discussions of origins are fair game and I would think any serious student of science or math in college would be eager to knock down ID (or try). But it is expected that by college you are inquiring, not just consuming what you are fed.

Of course the better solution.....end government schools. Heh. I don't think even at FR there are going to be a lot of takers for that. Which raises again, the first amendment question....
