This doesn't mean that students will get less science. This is such a non-starter. Yours and my kids are NOT prevented from learning evolution. They are given the option of walking out of the classroom if discussed. These are topics that are talked about in grade 5 and 6. So science from grade 1-4 is unaffected. Just so you and the others don't worry about science education my grade 3 class finished studied....structures. AS A FINAL PROJECT my kids build towers to hold loads of 500g min. The ended up building towers that could hold 30kg +. We talked about loads, compression, tension, gravity and stress.
By grade 4-6 they will have already gone beyond this we are worrying about argument.
BTW:
Grade 9 onwards this is a total option for all kids. Just ask Ralph Klein.
