Wrong. Parents can teach their kids whatever they want. My argument rests solely in what's taught in public schools. I am not hunting down parents who teach their kids Creation stories and sending their children off to re-education camps. Your "tyranny" argument doesn't hold any water.
Besides, I'm not interested in teaching opinion. It's not my opinion that the sky is blue; it's a plainly observable characteristic of reality. It's not my opinion that the Earth goes around the Sun; it's an inferrable fact that individuals can seek to confirm or deny based on their own experiences.
Science class is not for teaching points of view; you can relegate that to Social Studies or English. It makes no more sense to teach kids about both evolution and Creationism than it does to teach kids about the Earth being both round and flat. It's not a matter of opinion.
Then explain why home schooled Christian youth consistently score among the highest in the nation in aptitude tests...
Probably because Christian parents have a tendency of emphasizing to their children the importance of education and academics in general, and are in general more likely to make sure that they are good parents. I have no qualms with Christians and no real problem with modern Christianity; I simply don't want the theology or mythology of one particular religion taught in a public school science class.
Do you have any proof of that contention?
You want public schools to teach kids that the world was created by an intanglible all-powerful diety... and you're asking me for proof of my contentions?
It is indeed your own problem in that each one of us, individually, will have to stand before God and give an account of our lives. But it is not a problem you can solve on your own without Jesus Christ.
I'm not particularly interested in solving this so-called problem.
PM is on record as saying that the Biblical creation myth is "the truth" and therefore should be taught as a theory.
There is no point in discussing anything further. But we need to make sure him and his ilk don't destroy a generation.
