I am so angry... My son who started his freshman year in high school is being taught evolution... I explain to him it is all a man made lie but it still bothers me. Can't christians unite and take evolution out of school the same way the world took prayer out of schools or the ten commandments out of court houses?

Waaaait - IT'S a man made lie? Oh, irony overdose, veins clogging, mind seizing...
They took (teacher-led) prayer out of schools because including it was effectively promoting religion, which is unconstitutional. Evolution is science, and it is the kind of thing that schools are SUPPOSED to teach; taking THAT out of the curriculum on your own trumped-up religious grounds risks again promoting religion, which would also be unconstitutional.

That's funny, because they still have religion in schools in all those places that want to bomb us.
Fundie Christians want to control peoples thoughts so they can rule, just like some imagined good old days stories they like to tell. They want to be in charge. They tell you what to read and what not to read.
Evolution is a proven scientific theory. (That it happens is proven, just working out why, how and how fast now.)
Evolution has no agenda.
Religion wants control
Prayer in schools = Forcing religion. Freedom of religion steps in.
Ten Commandments = Forcing Relgion. Separation of Church and State steps in.
Evolution = Cold hard science. The best we have in the field with the knowledge we have. Not unconstitutional at all. He doesn't have to believe it...just learn it.
To answer your question, no, you can't. Those acts were based on rationally separating church and state. Your proposed course of action is based on irrationally subordinating proven facts to theocratic beliefs.
short answer, probably not. You could try asking the school board who sets the curriculum.
So he is learning a mainstream view of biology, sounds ok to me. You dont have to believe, you just have to know what to answer on the exams.
"Jesus is my savior and you heretics will burn in hell forever hahahahaha", is not going to get him a passing grade.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
