That's not relevant. What is relevant is that teachers are teaching this theory as fact, when it is not.

Would it make you happy if they just taught the fact of evolution without the theory?

Yes. Only the facts.

The fact is that there are many people who BELIEVE all animals / people came from a common ancestor.

Also, there are some people who believe in many gods. Many also are monotheistic. Some are atheistic.

These are all facts about what people BELIEVE.

I think children should learn that many people believe in evolution.

The problem is that it has become dogma. It has become sacrosanct. That approach is unscientific.

The idea that animals / humans have a single common ancestor is purely speculative. Even if all of the many axioms of evolution held true - e.g. age of earth, the lack of life-ending cataclysms during this time, and even speciation itself - there still is no proof of common ancestry. That is merely someone's creative idea. It is no more scientific to make this speculation as it is to assert that common traits between living things indicates a common Designer.
