Evolution is science, just as star formation is science; teaching that God was either guiding or not involved in either process is not science, neither would teaching either position in public schools be Constitutional.
So it seems that your big bugaboo is something that doesn't actually exist; a public school teacher instructing students upon a physical mechanism to explain a physical process (science) and then further claiming that this means that God is not involved (atheistic).
Catholics have no problem teaching evolution because, despite the protestations otherwise by fanatics on both sides, acceptance of the scientific theory of evolution is perfectly compatible with religious faith.
Nope. References to a Creator are disallowed. That's Atheistic.

Roman Catholic theology is incorrect on this matter. Since it is clear from Scripture that Jesus of Nazareth was a Creationist, and we know that Jesus of Nazareth was 100% right in all ways, we can therefore deduce that those who believe in Jesus, must believe in His Creationism.
Now, there are probably a great many good Roman Catholics who haven't really thought it through from that angle, so their ignorance is forgivable; but in the case of other Roman Catholic evolutionists -- well, not all Roman Catholics are actually Christians, of course.
