Well, if I'm proven wrong and the Freeper evolutionists dislike the public schools as much as I do, I'll admit I was wrong on that point. I hope I am wrong because I can't see much hope for conservatism in the public schools.
It would theoretically bring the evolution debate to a halt as a political issue to disestablish the public schools. How would evolutionists react...even ostensibly conservative ones...if they lost their monopoly over a large segment of the child population?
It's interesting that you accept that Christian homeschooled kids would likely best public school kids in many areas, but exclude science. I really don't think that's anything to worry about. I don't think ID or even outright creationism would stifle the ability of kids to understand the scientific method or anything of the kind. I think some evolution proponents are a lot like the blue state liberals. They're convinced of their own brilliance and they're more than happy to vouch for each other's intelligence as compared to the "rubes" who don't accept their theory.
I know that you're an intelligent fellow, as are most of those on your side. I just wish some on your side could accept that there are folks out there...quite intelligent ones...who don't buy the theory of evolution.

At least you are honest about your motives. Can't sat that for everyone I've spoken with tonight.
