By educating people on factual data, we may be able to temper the damage inherent in an uninformed generation.

Just type in "evolution facts" in google....likely the 122,000,000 results will contain what you seek.
Lol, ok... I suppose gravity isn't fact either and neither is germ theory... To you Aristotelian gravity and miasma theory are on the same grounds as those respectively too, huh? If not, please explain why with evolution you reject the data and the facts and bring it down to the level of religious belief whereas with gravity and germ theory you don't bring it down to inferior/obsolete theories.

I am not insisting anything. I am saying evolution has a strong basis of facts and data behind it. It is YOU who rejects the data and thinks the disproven hypothesis of creationism stands on a level ground with the theory of evolution. Also germ theory and gravity are still theories- go look at the literature. The real problem here I think is a misunderstanding in what the term theory means in the context of science. Theory is not synonymous with hypothesis.
Now tell me this though, what about all the proof we have of evolution? The fossil record that shows gradual change in species as we go deeper into the sedimentary layer (as well as through carbon dating); the anatomical relationships between various organisms; genetic mutation which we see BEFORE OUR EYES; microbial evolution which we see BEFORE OUR EYES, etc.

the proof of what you speak, isn't proof of the origin of life, it is just something life does.
Creation, which is a belief, not my belief, is about the origin of life, if the two were to coexist, creation would come first. Life can't evolve if it doesn't exist. These two topics have nothing to do with each other.
I am tolerant of opposing view points, especially on something I don't know.
Bacteria may evolve but it had to be created first, weather this creation was by God or some other process, it's created then it evolves. everybody believes in creation, they just don't agree on how. Unless you think life sprang forth from nothingness, which is a belief also.
The origin of life is different than evolution.
Even with the origin of life though, we have proof and evidence on one side more than the other. For example, the biochemical properties of the first prokaryotes and how those relate to the primordial soup or the endosymbiotic theory and the evidence there of how eukaryotes arose.
What do you mean by creation is different than evolution? If people want to comfort themselves by telling themselves that the creation story fills in the void of what science has not discovered yet, then fine, they can do that. But the point of the OP is that they are trying to go farther than that- they are rejecting scientific fact and replacing it with fairy tale when they say things like dinosaurs existed with humans or that man did not evolve from other primates, etc. And to add to that, they are not trying to force schools to not penalize students for getting test questions wrong based on their wrong beliefs.
As for the primordial soup and life- remember that life is defined by humans to begin with and biologists let alone the rest of the world still don't agree on 1 definition of life.
I can say I believe that 1+1=3, but that doesn't mean I am not wrong. If you are making a state-church argument, then how are you for this nonsense? This is a pro-religion bill trying to influence our public, state-ran school systems with it's religious teachings...
What is the point of testing in schools then? If I can go in and argue that 1+1=3 and then turn around and say that is my belief and they can't fail me for it, then what is the point of testing? This kind of silliness only holds our country back.
