I would be fine with my child learning history (and including religion in there), but I would be very not fine with her being taught that homosexuality is a sin and that the Earth is only 6000 years old.
However, I would be willing to allow it if they also taught that Jesus rode a Tyrannosaurus.

I see it was already addressed, but neither of those things are taught in Catholic schools. Evolution in particular is part of the curriculum just like any other school. Homosexuality isn't really discussed either (sadly, it is ignored), but the truth is, you can find anti-homosexual bigots everywhere (I know atheists who are just as bad as anyone in that regard).
It sounds like you are thinking more of Calvinist, Baptist and Anabaptist Protestant conservative Christians. Understandable, as they are probably more visible in Alberta than other places in Canada, but they are hardly the voice for Catholics.
