So yeah, "facts" really have no bearing here.

I'm sorry, but you just went from 0-100. Some history books are wrong, therefore it's okay to teach something we know is wrong? That's a rather dangerous fallacy. The idea would be to see the problem of mistakes in history books and try to bring FACTS back, not introduce more fiction. Taeching ID is like teaching that Abraham Lincoln was killed by Jesus. It's all sorts of wrong, and it's inappropriate.

Science is mandatory, world religion 101 should be an elective. I'd call that a fair compromise. Anything less is going to piss me off.
