I'm in the middle here, but I really don't see the harm (as a matter of fact I would think it would be helpful to a student) in saying " There are some who believe in alternate theories".

It seems to me that there is as much reason to believe that the evos want to exclude students from hearing this simple sentence, as there is that some creationists would not want evolution taught at all. I do not understand why this is such a hardship for evos (although I have heard the "It is not science" argument many times).

"I'm in the middle here"

There is no middle ground here. It's like the Borg -- resistance is futile; you will be assimilated. :-)
