Ah, the old bait and switch. I was talking about evolution and criticism thereof. No bait and switch. I was asking for citations for peer-reviewed literature that criticize the general validity of evolution. You still haven't provided any.
Till then, I see no reason to introduce scientific critiques that don't exist into a school curriculum...

There are real discussions in science about details of mechanism and history. Can variation be nonrandom? How large is the role of genetic drift? How large is the role of parapatric speciation? Is this or that taxon monophyletic or was it built in part by convergence? What exact selection pressures were operating to produce this or that? Discussions of that sort will go on indefinitely.
Only the whack jobs are still contesting common descent and whether evolution happens at all. The Kansas Board is in this latter territory.
