Parents and children do have a constitutional right NOT to subject themselves to either evolution or ID. They also have a constitutional right NOT to associate with those who espouse either. Do you remember the freedom of assembly clause in the First Amendment?

Are you suggesting that information should not be presented in a public school if it may conflict with the religious belief of a student?

Government schools should be abolished.

Government schools violate the First Amendment right to freedom of assembly, as well as free speech, free press, and free expression of religious belief.

Government schools should be abolished.

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K=12 education.

Also, government schools can never be neutral in content or consequences politically, culturally, or morally, ethically, and values ( that means religious worldview). The government WILL establish the worldview ( with religious consequences) of the more politically powerful and trash that of the weaker citizens. This means that they violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment as well.

Government schools are compulsory for those with no alternative. Since they are a price-fixed monopoly and burden citizens with high taxes, alternatives are not likely for many. This means they imprison children who have committed no crime. ( violation of the 13th Amendment)

Once in a compulsory government school prison, the government subjects a child to a curriculum and school policies that often undermines the teachings in the homes. This violates the 17th Amendment in that it is parents not government who are to direct the upbringing of their children.
