I also believe in evolution. I do not believe for a single second that a merciful God would send me to Hell for that second belief. Do you?

No, but He might if you worked to prevent school children from hearing the other side of the story. The problem with evolutionary theory is that it's very weak scientifically. I find the ID arguments much more compelling. Regardless, evolutionary theory should not be sold as fact to impressionable children.

The only thing we know with certainty regarding human origins is that the human race has descended from an original couple. Regarding the cosmos, we know that the universe was created from nothing.

You are attempting to solve the wrong problem, just as I said in the post previous to the one you had your knee-jerk reaction to.

Where in the Constitution does it say that my children are to be educated at the expense of the public?

If I want my children to have an education, I should pay for it, and if you want yours to have an education, you should pay for it, and when we are paying for it we get to say what gets taught.

There is no difference between abolishing public education and having inner city schools graduate a majority of eighteen year old kids who cannot read or write.

And it's a lot cheaper for the taxpayer.

Not a certainty.
