Now isn't this EXACTLY what this is about? Christian worldview cannot be taught, by law? And on the other thread, any science curriculum from a Christian worldview disqualifies a student from entering college?

Are we talking about "Christian worldview" or "fundamentalist dogma", or are you submitting that they are the same thing?

If you're going to submit they're both the same, then by your account Catholics, and probably the majority of those who consider themselves Christians do not have a "Christian worldview" by your account.

What exactly is this "Christian worldview" you throw around so easily, and who exactly does and doesn't have it?

What exactly does your beloved “fundamentalist dogma” pejorative mean?
(I’m making a side bet with GodGunsetc that you won’t be able to define it.)

And you’re right, even among evangelicals, a survey was taken about core beliefs, and around 50% did not have a Christian/Biblical worldview.

Now, if you want the definition of this worldview, here it is:
“The definition requires someone to believe that absolute moral truth exists;
that the source of moral truth is the Bible;
that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches;
that eternal spiritual salvation cannot be earned;
that Jesus lived a sinless life on earth;
that every person has a responsibility to share their religious beliefs with others;
that Satan is a living force, not just a symbol of evil; and that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful maker of the universe who still rules that creation today. “

Now, if that’s “religious dogma” to you, so be it. I really don’t see any belief in this explanation that is so abhorrent as to deserve scorn and denigration.
