There are plenty more examples, the oppression of homosexuality being one of the major issues. While I wouldn't call the USA a Theocracy, certain fundamentalist tendencies are obvious.

This is a very weird statement IMHO.
First, because there is no conflict between the evolution theory and the main religions in the USA.
Second, children should be taught about all kinds of religion as well as science, so that they can make their own educated choice of what they want to believe.
I don't see how this could offend anyone but a fundamentalist (religeous, scientific or otherwise) - which should be ignored by a democratic government!
After reading your posts again, it occurs to me that you may be confusing public/private schools in the U.S. Public schools are limited in what they can teach: Children are taught the basics, but schools cannot have prayer sessions (children and teachers can still follow their beliefs, but they are not supported by the school)
Private schools can teach whatever they want. There are no limitations.
