That's kind of hypocritical that children are not allowed to be exposed to "religious myths" (as if they can actually prove they are "myths"), but children are allowed to be exposed to atheist myths such as evolution (which is proven to be false) and the like, but that doesn't violate student's rights.
Evolution was proven to be false? When? Evolution is backed up by an overwhelming amount of physical evidence.

He said individuals, not children who are forced to go on a government sponsored and financed trip.

Only if you haven't familiarized yourself with the science involved. There is a prodigious amount of physical evidence from many fields including genetics, biology, anthropology, etc. supporting the conclusion that we evolved from earlier forms of primates. In a sense many of our primate predecessor species still exist - their physical remains are there for all to see, and Neanderthal genes have been found in our DNA.

There's another thread underway, asking "Why is Satan so bad?" I think we have our answer here. He's just no good, that one.

Of course, many believers fail to realize: humans ARE primates. We are, actually, great apes.

Of course.

From Wikipedia:
  • When the resort opened, it featured the Nile River Tour which was a river ride that carried guests to different parts of the pyramid and passed by pieces of ancient artwork on a river that encircled the casino.[14] The casino also featured King Tut’s Tomb and Museum, a duplicate of King Tutankhamen’s tomb as found in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt.[9]
