...I can also see lawsuits by parents whose kids don't get into Prestige U.

Yep. A high school diploma isn't worth much if the kids have to take remedial science classes to make up for what the public school did not teach them. The really hard part would be un-teaching them the garbage that the school board wants the schools to teach. The colleges would have to have de-programming classes.

"A high school diploma isn't worth much if the kids have to take remedial science classes to make up for what the public school did not teach them."

That's been happening for more than twenty years in colleges as it is, and that's with Math and English. I saw that when I went back to finish up my degree. As a non-traditional sudent (read: not a recent high school graduate) I was much closer in age to many of my profs and became friends with some of them and boy did I hear about it from them. IMO, "deprogramming" kids from a belief in creation is the least of the colleges worries when so many of these kids can't even read, write, or do calulations without a calculator.

You're working on the presumption that the schools are actually teaching evolution correctly and that the kids are really learning it. If what I've seen of the results of education in our society today holds true, they aren't picking up evolution properly to begin with. Just look at the pathetic state of knowledge in Math, English, writing, spelling, history, and geograpy. I highly doubt they're doing much better in science.
