Having said that, I personally have no issue if there are schools that offer these topics. However, it should remain as it is now in that parents can "opt their children out".

In doing so, you condone a system where children of (typically) religious parents get an inferior education compared to the general public. You are sanctioning a "right to keep your children ignorant", and placing a higher value on that than on the quality of the child's education.
I find this highly objectionable. A person, and a society do not develop by censoring ideas. Some ideas have more merit than others, but the ideas that don't have merit should be evaluated as such, rather than censored. Don't believe in evolution? Great, defend your position. Don't plug your kid's ears and go "LA LA LA LA".

People have equality. Rights do not. Religious rights have to take a backseat to other, more important rights. Otherwise I can go around shooting people, as long as it's because God told me to.
