This is the kind of thing the anti-CRT folk would like to ban from the curriculum because (coincidentally) they also object and probably protested evolution, (Now we know why
)
I doubt many of those who "protest evolution" would really care what those who belive in it have to say on the subject of what the "original Adam" looked like.
In fact, a large portion would likely be quite satisfied to see that the "original Adam" resembed the image supplied - Given a belief in creation would likely require a belief that the "word of god" (scriptures) be taken (at least in part) literally, and the bible (specfically the "old testament") covers more than merely the various branches of christianity (Judaism and Islam are also based upon this, for example), and with Christianity being a global religion, there would be a large portion of the global population who would likely welcome seeing the image.
Looking at the 2014 Pew "Religious landscape study" in the USA, the Jehova's Witnesses (74%) are the most likely to believe that "Human's always existed in the present form" (creation), followed by "Evangalical Protestant" (57%), Mormons (52%), "Historically Black Protestant" (45%) and Muslims (41%).

Interestingly, there is not a huge difference between the "Democrats" and "Republicans" in terms of taking everything in scripture literally - which is the closest to a link between political views and a belief in creation\evolution that I could find there - (38% of those who believe this were\leaned Democrat, 44% were\leaned Republican), or only taking certain portions literally (38% of those who believe this were\leaned Democrat, 46% were\leaned Republican), as well as Females being more likely than males to believe scripture is the word of god (literally, partially literally, other\don't know how literal. Males were more likely to believe scripture is not the word of god, with an equal split for other\don't know). [2]
