If you want to point out the flaws, I'm ok with that so long as the flaws are found scientifically. In other words don't go saying that the theory of evolution is wrong because the Bible says its wrong.
This is the rub for me...the evolutionist side of the issue has so framed the debate so as to paint anyone who questions it as a bible toting whacko. For instance, the case in Georgia where the school board wanted to put stickers on the text books stating that evolution is a theory, and that many people consider it to be flawed. Immediately the press labeled anyone in favor of the stickers as being "creationist", which due to decades of negative imagery since the much lauded (inaccurately, I might add) Scopes Monkey trial carries some pretty heavy baggage.
I have no problem with evolution being presented in classrooms, however alternate theories should also be presented...as you say, as theory.
