The problem is that evolutionary science is not controversial and is a scientific fact, just the way we know the holocaust happened. I do not think I am biased because I'm an atheist, I'm supporting the proven evolutionary theory, which, FYI, I was taught in Catholic school without any mention of "Controversies" about evolution and common descent. I did not become an atheist because of that. There were many factors that lead to my atheism. You can accept common descent and be religious.
Does teaching a child creationism over evolution physically harm the child? No. But I think it does harm in the same sense if you taught your child the holocaust didn't happen. We have a responsibility to ensure our children get a good and accurate education. And by no means am I saying public schools is the only answer, they certainly need some rehabilitation, as they are failing our children as well.
