Evolution is "questioned" all the time, and it stands up just fine.

Just one of the many obvious questions that your statement invokes:

Then why the panic when school districts wish to remind students that evolution is just a theory?

Because when school districts do this, they are signaling that they are teaching religion, not science. People want their children taught science (like I'm sure you would protest if your children were taught Wicca, or whatever religion you oppose).

There are other posts that speak on the difference between a scientific "law" vs. "theory". These school districts are taking advantage on the common use of these words, not their proper scientific use.

And let's not get into this dumb argument that Evolution IS a religion. I may agree that Environmentalisim is a religion. But like Creation "science", it misues scientific data to fit an agenda.
