I have the same objection. Darwinism used to be considered a theory. They even called it the Theory of Evolution. Now, to some, it is at least as much Holy Writ as the Bible is to me.
I'm teaching my kids that there are competing theories, but when they get to college they're only going to hear one side of the story. I tell them to keep an open mind and consider all the evidence, that understanding God, Creation and our place in the universe is the work of a lifetime, and we won't find all the answers here.

My eldest daughter is at a high-speed "magnet school" and rolls her eyes when the texts contradict grace (or just leave it out, most times.) But she knows the real stories of the Pilgrims, and our Founders. I tell her "yeah, but just write down what they want to hear." (And you ought to hear her moan about how Christmas has become the "Holiday Season". I have innoculated her against the nonsense of the world, and done it well!)

...that understanding God, Creation and our place in the universe is the work of a lifetime, and we won't find all the answers here.It is indeed a "work of a liftime". I believe that's why we're here, sort of a "proving ground".
As far as home schooling, I certainly would present the THEORY of evolution along with biblical teaching. I firmly believe, that with both, and His gift to us of discernment and "true" discrimination" most people will realize we did not rise out of the primordial ooze.....JMHO.
