What is a Jr.HS or HS kid going to do with TOE and how is it going to better his life or how can he use it when he graduates to be a productive citizen? Don't teach it in jr.HS and in HS if you teach it at all make it an elective. They would be better served learning chemistry and biology, TOE never even needs to enter the equation. They can learn that in College.

But you want to specifically exclude (for religious reasons) one particular well-established scientific theory from the curriculum. One can only speculate as to your motives. I prefer students to be well-educated and for those who go on to college to be well-prepared.
