Sure evolution is a theory. So's the atomic theory of matter. So's the theory of universal gravitation. You want a disclaimer on those?

IF necessary, yes. Pretending theories are facts limits ones ability to question and learn. If we used Right Wing Professor's logic hundreds of years ago we would assume the earth is flat is a fact and not bother thinking about it again.

Yup. I was taught that those were theories when I was in school (in the 70's). And now my kids are learning the differences between theories, laws and facts. I don't see the problem with identifying theories as theories (theory of relativity), laws as laws (law of gravity), etc.
