And, I appreciate that evolution is honestly called a theory. My concern is that it is considered the only valid theory when it is not. So, when evolution is taught alone, with no suggestion that it could be incorrect, the implication is that it is, indeed, fact.

If parents wish to have their children learn the "theory" of Creationism, they should send them to private school. If they can't afford it, teach it to them at home. Learn it in church....etc, etc.
I apprecaite your opinion but our public school system applies the study of sciences, not religions (to an almost certain extent). If we open the door to teaching creationism, we must also open the door to other theories.
Are we willing to spend the tax dollars needed to hire more teachers, expand schools and classrooms, purchase more textbooks, all of which would be required to adapt to such a change? I just don't see the vision.
