Could parents opt their kids out of a science class where Darwin's theory of evolution is being taught or a history class where there's a section on how women got out of the kitchen and into the workforce?

Well, answering that question is dangerous. My guess is that a majority of the justices will side with the objectors who want an opt-out, but that's not a certainty.
