You don't own your children and you can't just teach them anything.

Parents should be allowed to teach their kids whatever they want about the origins of life and humanity. Schools shouldn't, but you cant start legislating what parents can and cannot tell their kids about the natural world (assuming they aren't telling them their purpose is to kill others or some such dangerous garbage).

The hope is that society advances to the point where such beliefs are so scorned and so positively laughable in a public setting that nobody is willing to hold them anymore.
